This is currently a work in progress in MailScanner, but we aren't there
yet. Recent MailScanner can be configured with Postfix as an smtpd
milter, but in almost all cases, the milter 'discards' the message and
passes it to MailScanner which processes it and if accepted, resubmits
it to Postfix.

The milter could actually invoke the MailScanner process on the message
but doesn't in order to avoid a potentially log running process.
