It seems someone's been fooling up with your installation.

For one thing, someone did a "chown / chgrp / touch" of the files
listed, 
plus "cut" was deleted and "head" was replaced...

Find out if someone/something uses that "head" and rename it to
something 
else: "urlhead" or whatever and change any scripts that use it (if any).

Maybe "head -v" gives you an official name besides the version, and
maybe a 
hint as of where it comes from.

Now let's fix your textutils:

rpm -q textutils

will tell you the exact version of the package textutils (e.g 
"textutils-2.0.21-1") 

Now look for that package in your redhat CD or on the net 
(http://rpmfind.net).

When you get the original rpm file (e.g. textutils-2.0.21-1.i386.rpm) do
the 
following:
rpm -ivh --replacepkgs textutils-2.0.21-1.i386.rpm

that would restore the whole textutils, including the original
/usr/bin/head 
that MailScanner wants.
