Fresh installation problems - Postfix

Guys,

i recently installed a box with MailScanner 4.30.3-2 and Postfix 2.0.19.
Since i started the system, all messages are being queued, because of the
following reason:

----- STATUS -----
connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]: server dropped connection without sending
the initial greeting
----- STATUS -----

The messages seems to be scanned by MailScanner because i can see
MailScanner messages in /var/log/maillog.

For install the box, i did the following steps:

* Enable chroot jail, running '/etc/postfix/postfix-chroot enable'.
* Enable header_checks in '/etc/postfix/main.cf'
* Create file header_checks on postfix folder and added the line to hold
messages.
* Modify params for postfix in MailScanner.conf
* Change owner to postfix on quarantine and incoming folders of MailScanner
* Modify /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner to use postfix

All this instructions were taken from:

http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/install/postfix.shtml

On some place i found that this error is common if you use amavis, because
it can be blocking the IP used by Postfix to send mails. Does MailScanner
the same thing? How can i solve this problem?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Best regards,

Ignacio
