That would be one way, but you'd have to check for changes in
mailscanner.conf each time and possibly in other things that live in
/etc.

What I do is to keep the previous version's download in someplace other
than my 'running' directory. When a new version is released I unpack it
and 'diff -r previous current' (e.g. diff -r MailScanner-4.00.0a3
MailScanner-4.00.0a4). That will show all changed files and what
changed. If the change occurs in a config file that I've modified in my
running copy I can adjust as necessary. My running copy
(/opt/MailScanner) is just a symlink to the actual stuff
(/opt/MailScanner-4.00.0a4). So I copy the contents from where I
unpacked the download to /opt, merge in my mailscanner.conf and other
local configs, and change the symlink.
