Apparently Kizito is incapable of reading the current Postfix
documentation but very capable of reading outdated articles purporting
the (non existent) benefits of Mailscanner.

From:  http://www.postfix.org/addon.html

mailscanner system, works with Postfix and other MTAs. WARNING: This
software uses unsupported methods to manipulate Postfix queue files
directly. This will result in corruption or loss of mail. The
mailscanner authors have so far refused to discuss a proper access API
or protocol.

This Mailscaner warning has been on the Postfix site for years.  AFAIK
these are Wietse's words.  Kizito, Wietse is the author of Postfix.

Still want to use Mailscanner?  If so you are on your own.  We will not
assist you with problems related to it.
