RE: Mail stuck in /var/spool/postfix/hold

Any error when you run this? 

egrep -i "invalid|error|reject|deny" /var/log/mail.log

Review this again, you never know, maybe you did miss a small thing. 

https://www.mailscanner.info/postfix/ 

And did you make sure these linese are last in checks_header.pcre 
## We need to put incoming to the HOLD QUEUE for MailScanner
/^Received:/ HOLD

I havent had the time yet to start on the new mailscanner setup. 
I have a kopano install first to finish. :-( 

But tip. Any file you put in here.. /etc/MailScanner/conf.d/ 
Like : 
Reading configuration file /etc/MailScanner/conf.d/postfix.conf 

Number them. The loading order might conflict. 
/etc/MailScanner/conf.d/01-company-base.conf
/etc/MailScanner/conf.d/02-postfix.conf
/etc/MailScanner/conf.d/03-something-else.conf

All rights on folders are checked?

Louis
