Messages staying in the Postfix hold queue is a side effect of the problem.

The issue you see in the log messages is a MailScanner child starts and
attempts to process the 2 messages in the Processing Attempts Database.
The first of these (9CC2E45321.A7F02) causes the child to die before it
does anything else including processing the Postfix hold queue.


See OP at
<http://lists.mailscanner.info/pipermail/mailscanner/2016-October/103861.html>
for log messages.

I don't know why you aren't seeing some kind of error message in some
log, but you could try stopping MailScanner and then running

sudo MailScanner --processing

or

sudo MailScanner --processing=0

That probably won't say much. Then move
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/Processing.db aside and start
MailScanner and see if that helps.
