I used this script

#!/bin/sh

# this is the final destination for the mail to be released:
# postfix's incoming queue
POSTFIX_DEST=/var/spool/postfix/incoming

# check for valid parameters
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
        echo "Syntax: release.sh <Message-ID>"
        echo "Example: release.sh 678362AC.9CFE7"
        exit
fi

# find the specific mail in the quarantine folders
folder=`find /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/ -name $1`

mailname=`echo $1 | cut -d . -f1`

# copy the mail
if [ -e $POSTFIX_DEST/$mailname ] ; then
        echo "ERROR: $mailname already in $POSTFIX_DEST! EXITING"
        echo "This should not happen"
        exit 255
fi

cp -avi "$folder/$mailname" "$POSTFIX_DEST/$mailname"

# make it 0700 so that the mail is deemed ready
chmod 0700 $POSTFIX_DEST/$mailname
