Oh. My. God.
Stop using this old, unsupported, deprecated, unsafe method. Immediately.
The only really safe method of interfacing postfix and MailScanner is
described on the official website
(http://www.mailscanner.info/postfix.html) and also in the Wiki
(http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=documentation:configuration:mta:postfix:installation).
These methods entail using one instance of Postfix and a header_check
to place incoming messages in the HOLD "queue"...

Until you switch to this method of doing things, there is nothing we
can do to help you.
