Strange corrupted postfix queue file

Cheers,

I've got Mailscanner 4.33.3-2 and postfix 2.1.4-5 running fine and working
very good. Well.. I thought so anyway.

I have now found some corrupted messages in /var/spool/postfix/corrupt

I also found this in the syslog:
---
Sep 13 18:30:15 ewash postfix/qmgr[16389]: B1B356C2A5: from=<cisco-nsp-
bounces at puck.nether.net>, size=9505, nrcpt=2 (queue active)

Well.. looking at the corrupted message I understand that postfix
complains. It seems like Mailscanner have messed up the message.

It looks like a duplicate och the message have been placed in the middle
of the message. Giving the queue file two envelpoe records and two message
content sections. I can send of one message if it's for any help.

Anyone got an idea why this occur and how to get around it.. The messages
that are stuck are both OK messages and SPAM and with HTML and without so
it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the structure of the message...

Looking forward to get any input here..

Best Regards,
Jonas
