The reference to "mailscanner causes swapping" is regarding an old 
thread where someone was blaming MailScanner saying "it causes 
swapping"; everybody took turns explaining that "MailScanner causes 
swapping" sounds like "exercise causes breathing".

It's been asserted many times on this list that MailScanner works 
perfectly with Postfix, regardless of what some people (like Postfix's 
own Wietsev Enema) might say ;)

The only difference to other installations is that I use two instances of Postfix, the first handles all the standard checks HELO etc and performs LDAP lookups; if this is passed then the emails are handed over the to the second instance where MailScanner will perform its checks.

I will probably start on this at the weekend so will let you know how it goes.  Have some interesting ideas to try out with the Ajax client especially for using information from MailScanner for White and Grey listing.
