Maybe I have just totally misread this entire post; however it seems to
me that the acceptance or rejection of a message must be done at the
MTA level. Using Postfix, I can set various flags to either accept or
reject messages based on what ever criteria I want. I don't see how I
could use mailscanner in that environment since I would have to accept
the message and then send it onto mailscanner. There is no way I could
legitimately reject the message after that point in time.

Then again, maybe I have just misunderstood this entire thread. Sorry!
