Here's the part of /var/log/maillog where I've restarted MailScanner:

Sep  3 15:25:28 zeus MailScanner[9744]: MailScanner child caught a SIGHUP
Sep  3 15:25:28 zeus postfix/postfix-script: stopping the Postfix mail system

And here are the lines where I sent a message to Hotmail:

It doesn't look like the messages are going through MailScanner at all.
I've shutdown postfix via chkconfig and when I run "service MailScanner
start" MailScanner starts the inbound and outbound postfix sessions and
then itself, e.g.:
Starting MailScanner daemons:
         incoming postfix:                                 [  OK  ]
         outgoing postfix:                                 [  OK  ]
         MailScanner:                                      [  OK  ]


Maybe something is missing in Postfix's master.cf or main.cf?
