This looks like mailscanner is indeed broken by the tainting fixes;
see the thread starting at
<http://lists.mailscanner.info/pipermail/mailscanner/2011-April/097813.html>
Unfortunately mailscanner is orphaned so there was not much chance
of test coverage of mailscanner in unstable.
Can you confirm that the errors on that thread match what you're seeing?
Unfortunately there does not yet appear to be any sign of a real fix
upstream, but there are a couple of possible workarounds mentioned.
