Using MailScanner 401-8 + Sophos-3.62 on a SuSE-Linux 8.0 server,
everything seems to work,
but I have many of these messages in /var/log/mail:

Oct 30 21:00:01 tonne mailscanner[30312]: Configuration file
/usr/local/Sophos/bin/sophoswrapper could not be opened for reading!

Version 3.62 of Sophos does not have sophoswrapper, previous versions did.
There may be something wrong, because since installing the new system,
it never finds
any viruses:  I have only gotten reports like this in /var/log/mail
(the line Virus Scanning: Found NN viruses  always has NN=0)
