Wietse Venema says that MailScanner uses unsupported methods to manipulate the queue that could (and has) lead to lost email.

Just a heads up. -DH CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
