Another email on this list with another problem gave me a clue, it seems
that mailscanner was unable since 23:53 to write in the quarantine folder.
How this all of a sudden changed is stil a mystery to me (checking cronjobs
now).

But I changed the run as group of mailscanner to the apropriate one and now
it is working again. (from www-data to postfix)

Regards
Rob
