mailscanner configuration and setup

Hello,

I am trying to get MailScanner configured and installed on a RedHat system
running postfix and SpamAssassin.

Current I had postfix running and SpamAssassin working.  I then installed
MailScanner and everything seemed to be working.

Going through the postfix installation instructions, it indicated that I
should change this line in my postfix ( main.cf ) configuration file:

header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/header_checks

I did this, and I modified the file /etc/postfix/header_checks to have
this setting:

/^Received:/ HOLD

I restarted postfix and the MailScanner service, now when I send mail to
my server, postfix places the message in the /var/spool/postfix/hold
queue.  This is expected behavior I think.  But the mail just sits there,
it never gets picked up and processed my MailScanner.

I also have clamav installed for Virus detection.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks.

Bryan
