well looking at the postfix mailscanner how-to..

http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=documentation:configuration:mta:postfix:installation

in MailScanner.conf the "Incoming" and "Outgoing" queues are
wrong...but that doesn't explain why the mail's being delivered.

I presume you've created the /etc/postfix/header_checks file correctly?
