It's probably a good idea to first read Wietse Venema's (author of 
Postfix) take on Mailscanner which boils down to:

"Mailscanner manipulates Postfix mail using unsupported methods. 
Therefor do not use mailscanner."

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mailing.postfix.users/WgnD8lU1jCI

That thread describes why Mailscanner is not supported. The TL;DR 
version by Noel Jones is: "MailScanner does its work by grabbing files 
out of the queue, runs its processing, and drops the resulting file back 
into another postfix queue.  This is not a documented method to perform 
content filtering in postfix."

So before you throw out DSPAM and move to Mailscanner & Postfix realize 
that you will get zero support from the Postfix Community if you have 
problems. If you really want to use Mailscanner then use it with Qmail. 
If you want to use Postfix then use an anti-spam solution that is supported.

HTH,
Patrick
