There is a difference of opinion between the postfix folks and the mailscanner folks on that issue. There were some initial problems with MailScanner on postfix but there are now many happy MailScanner/Postfix users. It is true that the method of intercepting the emails is not the one recommended by by the postfix guys, but so long as you follow the install instructions on the MailScanner site you shouldn't have a problem. The biggest cause of problems is people who think they can put the incoming queue and outgoing queue on different disks - that doesn't work because postfix relies on knowing the inode number of the file. If that doesn't convince you then, unless you have some complex mail requirements, its easy to switch Mandrake to use sendmail (thats what I did, because MailScanner didn't support postfix back when I first installed it).
