Thats probably because you are viewing it from a mailscanner perspective. The maildrop example in that link is making a single atomic delivery action straight from mta to mailbox via spamassassin filtering. Mailscanner doesn't work this way, mailscanner listens to a queue directory, processes messages in that directory and drops the filtered messages into another queue directory for the mail delivery agent to collect and deliver. You could achieve something similiar with an add on component, but to the best of my knowledge there is no solution for this out of the box. You could hand off from maildrop to mailscanner easily enough, but you'd need a component that would scan mailscanners output directory and feed the messages back into maildrop for mailbox delivery. If you want to do the mailscanning on another machine, then you're going to need a socket based listener to prime maildrop with the scanned messages as well as an app to scan mailscanners output and feed it back to maildrop. You won't get mailscanner working with couriers queue directories because mailscanner hasn't been adapted for courier's queues, and unlike postfix etc (which mailscanner does work with) courier splits a queued message into two distinct files, so its not a simple adaptation. In summary, that guys instructions, in my opinion, won't work for mailscanner, and I doubt he's tried it!
