Exactly. The very point of deferring transport is to let MS collect the
messages for scanning...

Yes.

Yes.

Not necessarily the SMTP delivery. If you aren't relaying to another
server, it will use the local agent to deliver to a local mailbox.

There is no need to shout. Have you made sure your two postfixes were
running ? Specifically : is the _outgoing_ Postfix (the one with the
configuration in /etc/postfix) running ? Does a 'postqueue -c
/etc/postfix -p' shows the messages in the /var/spool/postfix/incoming
queue ? If so, can you (1) stop the incoming Postfix, (2) make sure the
outgoing one is running, and (3) do a queue run (with 'postqueue -c
/etc/postfix -f') to see if the messages are delivered ? If they're
still stuck in the queue, what do your logfiles show ?

What's this ? Are the queue directories correctly created ? Have you
this in /var/spool ?

[root at sceuzi][~]# ls -dl /var/spool/post*
drwxr-xr-x   18 root     root         4096 2003-11-21 18:21 /var/spool/postfix
drwxr-xr-x   18 root     root         4096 2003-09-27 04:42 /var/spool/postfix.in

And have you made sure the subdirectories of these are the same, and
have the correct permissions ? Everything inside should be chown
postfix, and (maildrop|public/*) should be chgrp postdrop...

Have you had a look at <http://www.mailscanner.biz/> ? There seem to be
some commercial support available for this product...
