I don't intend to start a flamewar, but given Wieste's repeated warnings on the Postfix mailinglist[1] and expressed on

as
"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 sofar refused to discuss a proper access API or protocol."
I call that combination not being best practice.
---- clearly this is a personal issue that Wietse has with Julian (the author of MailScanner) and I can assure all that it works fine with Postfix and has never caused either corruption or loss of mail on many servers that I have configured to use both. There are also a lot of users who run MailScanner with Postfix.
