No, it will have left behind any config file that you had modified. This
makes it easier for you to setup V4 as you still have your V3 setup to hand.

The answer is they are all in /etc/MailScanner, as it is now called
MailScanner.conf which is why you didn't find it.

Quick lesson about rpm:
         rpm -qlp package-name.rpm
will list all the files contained in the RPM package stored in the file
named "package-name.rpm".
         rpm -ql package-name
will list all the files contained in the RPM package "package-name" that is
currently installed.

So you can list all the MailScanner files with
         rpm -ql mailscanner

If you come across a file called, say, "/etc/foobar" (can be any file
anywhere) and you want to know which package it belongs to, then
         rpm -qf /etc/foobar
will tell you the name of the package that owns it.

If you don't like command-lines then there are plenty of graphical RPM
managers out there, you probably have at least 1 installed already.
