You do yourself an injustice :-)

In fact you can get away with following the single set up instructions
(With MailScanner stopped) and just move the /etc/postfix.in directory (to
/etc/postfix.in.old?) and move the spool directory also in a similar way.
That way you have a quick back out if you need. Re-start MailScanner/
Postfix, make sure it's working properly, then delete the now disused
'second Postfix' directories. Either way works fine!
