Was that entry there but commented? I think Postfix may ship that way. 
We should not that in https://www.mailscanner.info/postfix/

This is normal and expected. Postfix receives the message and processes 
it, calling the milter at various steps. The milter ultimately tells 
postfix to discard the original message, but it has queued the message 
for MailScanner in /var/spool/MailScanner/milterin. MailScanner picks it 
up from there and if it is to be delivered, delivers it back to Postfix 
via QMQP.
