Look:

MailScanner.conf:
Run As User = daemon


I also had to change MailScanner's source code, because it was
checking the owner of that directories.

Maybe it's a good sollution?  Maybe it's an useful information for
MS+ZM users (for throng of them ;P) and it's worth putting into the
documentation?
