mailscanner with postfix startup messages

[Steen, Glenn]

Well... the "hold: header Received:" just indicate that you're running a
"one postfix installation":-).
It is that header check that arranges for the message to be placed in
the hold queue, so that is normal (and you'll probably see one "hold:
..." entry for every "Received: " line IIRC, because it'll not halt
header checking with that, just advance to the next line... Good for
your IGNORE lines;-).

So the "qmail ... " bits are just what happens to be on those "Received:
" lines... meaning the sender seems to use qmail in this case.

Now, you confuused me a bit there by having essentially the same log
entries twice in your example, but... AFAICS everything is running as it
should.

Setup is postfix/mailscanner/sa used as a gateway. I seem to have an
issue
with some messages getting a "hold: header Received:", being requeued
then
basically "sitting" there, not being delivered.

Can any one explain to me what the "hold: header Received:" indicates
and
what causes it?

Also, the "qmail 34926 invoked by uid 60001" entry has me perplexed.
Where
did that come from?
