(Slightly OT)

Wietse doesn't like MailScanner because it's had a nasty history of
accessing queue files directly, which will break if the queue file format
changes at any stage (for example when DSNs were introduced etc.). I can
certainly understand his PoV (and frustration when cluebies blame postfix
for breaking MailScanner when it's really MailScanner that's flawed)

(I have both amavisd/postfix and MailScanner/exim @ work, so I've dealt
with both apps ;-))
