Greetings,
We run Postfix (postfix-2.3.3-2.pcre.sasl2.rhel4) and MailScanner
(mailscanner-4.66.5-3)
together. A user reported that he lost a message. I checked into our log
and found 4 entries
about the message, all from postfix.

I posted a message in postfix-users mailing list and Wietse Venema
replied me as follows:
"Postfix left the message in the "hold" queue and Mailscanner took over.
If you have no other
entries for message-id=<493C568F.9060006 at ucalgary.ca> then Mailscanner
trashed your mail."
Thanks
