Have you checked your queue depths? There is a section in the wiki that
Glenn pointed you at which describes this. I think it was about 2.2.x that
the standard default start up queue hashes were changed. If they are not
the same between the hold and incoming queues then your mail will either
not be be found or not delivered. (Assuming you are using the Hold method
Glenn has already pointed out).

It is much harder with out more information. I would also add some mail
log extracts would also be useful.

Now this might not yield the response you might hope if you also mention
MailScanner. For the short term, I would concentrate here.
