Stop both instances and start again:
# postfix -c /etc/postfix.in stop
# postfix -c /etc/postfix stop

and then same with start at the end.

Try /path to/MailScanner/bin/check_mailscanner

This should start MS (Or report that it is running already. This being the
case kill the first process ID and run the above command again)
