Have you added a -U to the top line of the main mailscanner script? 
 
I found a similar problem in the same environment with a lot of emails
claiming to kill mailscanner and it turned out to be a taint issue.

	I am running Mail Scanner 4.84.5 with postfix, spam assassin and
clamd.  Everything was working fine until I added Mail watch.  I
followed the mail watch install guide that I found online and changed
the permissions that is instructed.  My problem is that when I send out
a test e-mail it gets stuck in the postfix/hold folder and Processing
causing a looping error that just sends me e-mails to quarantine stating
that the e-mail has been moved there due to it attempting to kill Mail
Scanner, which causes another e-mail to go out to alert me (postmaster)
which gets stuck and the process is repeated.  This is a test box so has
luck has it I have not messed up a live environment but I am wanting to
set this up so that it will be easier for us to view the quarantine
e-mails and release any back to the end user.  I know that mail watch
and mail scanner are supposed to work very well together and I am almost
certain that it is a permission issue somewhere.  Can anyone offer a
suggestion or maybe a better forum for me to post to get this problem
solved?
