      First like to say my copy of the MailScanner book has just
      arrived and I'm ready to try to set up a test system to
      install MS, SA, SAV, MCP,etc.
      What I would like to do is have mail from our regular mail
      server send a copy to this server, so we can see how the
      setup works with real mail.
      We are using a Debian server with postfix as our MTA.
      Any ideas or diagram/instructions available on the subject?


I test mine by manually sending mail from them to an external account
(e.g. Gmail). Then I can test plain text, forbidden attachments, eicar
viruses and spam (gtube). It doesn't really matter which way mail travels
through a mail server. When you know it delivers mail you can put it into
production, just limit its use to a few people by using rulesets. Then
you can test reasonable values and actions for spam and other things.
