Small extract below
> How to Set Up Postfix for MailScanner Use
> 
>    1. Install Postfix version 2 and get it all working.
>    2. Stop Postfix using a command
>       postfix stop
>    3. Make sure you have the chroot jail set up in /var/spool/postfix. You should be able to see "etc", "usr" and "lib" directories inside /var/spool/postfix). If you haven't got the chroot jail setup already, then look in the "examples" directory of the Postfix documentation and you will find a script in there to set up it up for your operating system. If you can't find that, then see the "Problems or Errors" section further down this page.
>    4. At this point, things change from the setup for other MTAs as we can make it run with just one copy of Postfix, and let Postfix do the "split MTA" setup for us.
>    5. In the Postfix configuration file /etc/postfix/main.cf add this line:
>       header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/header_checks
>    6. In the file /etc/postfix/header_checks add this line:
>       /^Received:/ HOLD
>       The effect of this is to tell Postfix to move all messages to the HOLD queue.

>      Run As Group = postfix
>      Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/postfix/hold
>      Outgoing Queue Dir = /var/spool/postfix/incoming
>      MTA = postfix
