That is still included for a 'legacy' installation of MS with Postfix.
Just comment them out of your start up script (Or even just start Postfix
normally and then start MailScanner using the check_mailscanner script -
depending on your distro).

Basically all that Postfix does is drop all mail in to the hold queue
file. MailScanner scans it and moves it to the incoming queue for Postfix
to deliver. This means that you only need 1 Postfix 'instance' and not 2
as was needed once so there is no need to start postfix.in.
