Don't do that.

Unfortunately, the author of MailScanner doesn't make it clear on his web
site that use of MailScanner with Postfix is unsupported by the Postfix
developers. MailScanner directly manipulates Postfix queue files in ways
that are unsafe instead of using the documented safe APIs, leading to lost
mail / duplicate mail.

Use amavisd-new instead. <http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/>
