Drew,

Are you saying that the Postfix authors are purposefully changing the 
queue structure to intentionally break MailScanner (and similar)? 
Obviously, we can't have a must-have upgrade to either MailScanner or 
Postfix, then find that mail is stuck until a patch comes in from the 
other guys. Has this been much of an issue?

After reading some of the other messages, I was leaning towards Postfix 
but this could be cause for concern.
