MailScanner Development

[Maarten]

Hello Jerry,

Thanks for the information and the history. I will just take out 
MailScanner out of my postfix config and work without it since it's just 
on my personal mailserver. I will see if I can find anti-spam measure 
which I can use
but I have found since I have setup enforcing of spf, dkim and dmarc 
that I haven't really received much spam anymore.

Thanks for your time and for the work you and others have done on 
MailScanner.

Kind Regards,
Maarten
