Ok, that explains it, thanks.  Is there any way to get it to work with
postfix, or should I just look for a MTRG package/configuration that
does postix?

As I say, 'from memory' (And I suspect that is flawed as on further
thinking I may be getting confused with Vispan) I don't and haven't
used MRTG to monitor MailScanner. It ought to be possible. Looking at
the README file in the source it should be possible to get some form of
output. If I get time I'll have a look further, unless Kevin himself is
able to comment <span class="moz-smiley-s1"><span> :-) </span></span><br>

Ok, trying that.  Yup, files are not permissioned correctly.  Fixed,
waiting to see if it works now.

    <pre wrap="">Providing you have set up MailScanner with Postfix using the
'Hold queue' method (as described) then you shouldn't have
any problems. Search the archives you will see this has been
covered before (Some more emotionally than others ;-) )

I set it up as Tim referenced at the page

 <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/install/postfix.shtml">http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/install/postfix.shtml</a>

Is that the 'hold queue' method you refer to?

Yes!<br>
