I would assume that the MailScanner work directory or a subdirectory 
doesn't have the correct permissions anymore. It usually needs to be 
writable by the postfix user. The directory is at /var/spool/MailScanner.
The permissions might have been changed by your newly compiled version. 
They do not get changed by the postfix update in CentOS.
