Uh, well... That _is_ the problem. As you have postfix set now, it'll
never actually put anything where MailScanner will get at it... So the
question then becomes what did you do to your postfix setup? Or rather
what type of setup do you have?
You should use the "one instance HOLD" method. If you think you do,
take extra care reading your header_checks, therein probably lies your
problem... Or post it here.
If you are using the seriously deprecated "dual instance defer"
method, stop doing that immediately.
