You are welcome to try 4.15-10 which is at
http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/files/4/rpm/MailScanner-4.15-10.rpm.tar

If you just upgrade the "mailscanner*rpm" (you don't need to bother with
any of the others) and then run the "upgrade_MailScanner_conf" script to do
the rest, that should be all that is needed.
Then "service MailScanner restart" and you will be running the new code.
This should fix the problem.

Please let me know how you get on.
