For some reason the install script did not set up the second postfix
instance, so I followed the info at:

http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Using_MailScanner/Postfix/SpamAssassin/ClamAV_in_Gentoo_Linux#Configuring_two_versions_of_postfix

and did the following:

cp -rp /etc/postfix /etc/postfix.in

Edited /etc/postfix.in/main.cf and added a line at the top that says:

defer_transports = smtp local virtual relay

In the same file, changed:
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
to
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix.in

cp -rp /var/spool/postfix /var/spool/postfix.in

Edited /etc/postfix/master.cf and commented out the following line:
smtp   inet    n       -       y       -       -       smtpd

chown postfix.postfix /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming
chown postfix.postfix /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine

service MailScanner start

now says that it starts the two postfix queues, but in
/var/log/mail/info I get over and over:

MailScanner[nnn]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner version 4.30.3
starting...

I see MailScanner <defunct> processes and no mail is processed.

Help!

TIA
Brian
