Mailscanner has one big disadvantage when used with postfix: It accesses postfix queue files directly. According to Wietse Venema, the postfix author, postfix queues are considered a non-published internal interface which is subject to change. In an email to postfix-users from Sep. 16. 2003 he says: "MAILSCANNER MANIPULATES POSTFIX MAIL USING UNSUPPORTED METHODS. THEREFORE DO NOT USE MAILSCANNER." (Wietse's capitalisation, not mine).
