Thanks!  I checked but didn't see any apparmor errors or anything that 
relates to mail, only that MailScanner gets killed :

Jun 15 19:54:37 gw2 MailScanner: Process did not exit cleanly, returned 13 
with signal 0


Some other snippets, not sure if relevant :

On your website is stated :
# For use with MailScanner in /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.clamd
/var/spool/MailScanner/** rw,
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/** rw,

Whereas the MailScanner installer adds /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.sbin.clamd
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/** krw,
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/** ix,

But....... the include is not commented out in 
/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.clamd
   # Site-specific additions and overrides. See local/README for details.
   #include <local/usr.sbin.clamd>


I tried both and uncommented that line, no dice

Mail does end up in the "hold" directory but just sits there until 
quarantined


If i add mail from quarantine back into /var/spool/postfix/hold, 
/var/log/mail.log just says this :
