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.
