Not sure if this is a showstopper, but you should fix this anyway : your
incoming Postfix seems to listen on SMTPS (port 465), and the
corresponding entry hasn't been disabled on the outgoing instance's
master.cf. See below.

Another unrelated problem, but I'd advise you to make sure all these
problems are ironed out, so they don't confuse the situation to solve
this, remove the domain from either $mydestination or
$virtual_alias_domains as indicated.

OK.

> Outgoing Queue Dir = /var/spool/postfix/incoming

OK.

> MTA = postfix

Fine, OK.

You should comment that line to solve the problem indicated before. Only
the incoming instance should be listening to the network.

Is this also in /etc/postfix.in/main.cf ? If so, it should read
/var/spool/postfix.in there.

Try these commands, you should get values like these :

[root at sceuzi][~]# postconf -c /etc/postfix defer_transports queue_directory
defer_transports =
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
[root at sceuzi][~]# postconf -c /etc/postfix/postfix.in defer_transports queue_directory
defer_transports = smtp local virtual relay
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix.in

Is that OK ? If it is, check that your two instances of Postfix are running :

[root at sceuzi][~]# ps aux | grep 'postfix/master'
root     30480  0.2  0.2  2804  952 ?        S    14:25   0:15 /usr/lib/postfix/master
root     31091  0.1  0.2  2804  936 ?        S    14:25   0:08 /usr/lib/postfix/master

If not, try to start them :

postfix -c /etc/postfix start
postfix -c /etc/postfix.in start

and look for errors like the ones indicated in your log (you can esaily
make a special init.d/postfix.in afterwards to have the two instances
start automatically). When the two Postfixes are running, launch
MailScanner (I don't what distro you're using, on Debian, it amounts to
an /etc/init.d/mailscanner start, but you can just run
'check_mailscanner'), and look if it starts :

[root at sceuzi][~]# ps aux | grep MailScan
postfix  20926  0.0  0.5 16996 2020 ?        SN   13:50   0:00 /usr/bin/perl -I/usr/share/MailScanner /usr/sbin/MailScanner /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
postfix  20927  2.9  4.3 35132 16812 ?       SN   13:50   5:29 /usr/bin/perl -I/usr/share/MailScanner /usr/sbin/MailScanner /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
[...]

If it does, then you're all set. Also make sure you /var/spool/postfix*
are chown and chgrp postfix, ditto for /var/spool/MailScanner, and that
MS is running under the right UID/GID :

Run As User = postfix
Run As Group = postfix

HTH !
