The queue root's should be owned by root and the queue directories
should be owned by postfix:postifx *except* maildrop & public which
should be postfix:maildrop. Don't forget to check quarantine and the
MailScanner 'work' directory.

Try stopping every thing and just start the services one at a time, so
#postfix -C /etc/postfix start
#postfix -C /etc/postfix.in start
then MailScanner (/opt/MailScanner/bin/check_mailscanner?)

Check the logs on the way. This should give some clues as to where the
process is failing.
