My two cents :

Some time ago I was on a similar problem, i didn't want to reveal the path
to the message, so I modified with this extremely simple trick the
f-protwrapper shell script (Hence, you don't have to touch any mailscanner
core perl-function) :

hiddenpath=/usr/local/mailscanner/var
exec ${PackageDir}/$Scanner $ScanOptions "$@" | sed "s%$hiddenpath%%g"

You can always make a different regular expression to suit your needs.
For example that one should work for your needs :
"s%\/[a-zA-Z0-9]*\/\(.*\)%\1%"

Hope this helps to you.
