Are you going the RPM route?  Either way, there are lots of changes in the mailscanner.conf, so you're just as well starting fresh.

oh by the way, this the first time that I am going to upgrade the
mailscanner, is it possible if I am going to rename the old mailscanner
directory and install the new version of mailscanner as mailscanner?

or is there anything that I need to be reconfigure?

Thanks
