Requeueing stuck messages in postfix

One of my servers went a little strange and decided not to pass any
traffic. Couldn't find the root cause, so have left that to one side
for the minute and did the following.
- removed the header checks line from /etc/postfix/main.cf
- verified that with MailScanner off and postfix running, mail is
processed
- installed the lastest version of MailScanner for Mandrake - thanks
Julian, now installs perfectly using the script
- put header checks back on
All working again. But I have quite a number of stranded messages left
in the postfix incoming queue. Did a:
postsuper -r ALL incoming
which said it had requeued 100+ messages and yes, they now sit in the
maildrop folder. But that's where they stay. I presume that as these
made it into the incoming queue, they have been processed by MailScanner
and are therefore safe to just queue for delivery, but obviously the
process doesn't quite match what I have done so far.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
TIA
Brian
