This looks to me to be a Postfix configuration problem, and not a
MailScanner one.
It is failing to recognise the address
jowens at computeryardsale.net
which it thinks should be local.
Without the line in header_checks that sends mail to MailScanner, does
the symptom change at all? What happens when you tell it to send a
message to jowens at computeryardsale.net then?

I then sent a test message to myself to see if it would get through. I see gmail connecting and delivering the message, but it is still in the hold directory. I tried running MailScanner --debug, but the only option it will take is -v for version listing. Is there an easier way to set this up? All I really need is to be able to filter the mail on my server for spam. I am have one machine to use for the mail server and spam filter.
