Sounds like the deprecated "2 postfix setup via deferral". You should be using "1 postfix with the HOLD feature" (Joshua will disagree:-).
Look at the wiki, there's quite a lot about PF there:
http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=documentation:configuration:mta:postfix:installation

AFAICS, you must be doing something slightly strange, since the mailbox_command is used by the local delivery agent.... which should be way after MS is finished.

Tell us a bit more about the specific setup, and I'm sure will be able to give some pointers.

yeah I saw that site in my searches. I have
Mailscanner up and running along with postfix. Itworks
when I send mail to /var/spool... and directly to my
Maildir. But I wasnt to use procmail to filter out
spam to a users spam folder. My understanding from all
of the sites I have read mailscanner works like this
incoming postfix server -> mailscanner -> outgoing
postfix -> final destination (Maildir, spool, or mda).
but if I use mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail in
postfix/main.cf it goes striaght to procmail,
bypassing mailscanner. Do  I need to configure the
second postfix server and how do I do that, or am I
completely confused.

thanks
