Hmmm.  Not here it isn't...

service MailScanner start
Starting MailScanner daemons:
         incoming postfix:                                      [FAILED]
Could not find Postfix installation, see /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner
         outgoing postfix:                                      [  OK  ]
         MailScanner:                                           [  OK  ]

/etc/sysconfig/MailScanner contains:

POSTFIXINCF=/etc/postfix.in   # Directory containing incoming
configuration
POSTFIXOUTCF=/etc/postfix     # Directory containing outgoing
configuration

There is a /etc/postfix directory, but no /etc/postfix.in

thanks again
