Jason, from am earlier mail by you, I couldn't help noticing that you
had set the Incoming Work Dir to the postfiox hold queue directory...
This is, simply put, wrong.

Set it to something like /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming ... This is
the directory where the MailScanner children "plays" all by their
lonesome selves... There will be a subdirectory/process ID (with the
PID as name). These subdirectories could potentially confuise the hell
out of things, if placed in an active postfix queue. As it is now,
when set to the hold queue, the only postfix commands that are
affected are postqueue -p (mailq for short:-) and postsuper, and
probably rather mildly.

Simply stop MailScanner, adjust MailScanner.conf and fire it up again.

So the quick answer is "yes":-).

Cheers
