Are you using some other value for
Incoming Work Dir
in MailScanner.conf?
If so, you need to update the value of
WORKDIR
in /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner, so that the init.d script knows what to
clear up for you.

Ah, that's possible. The new installation scriptlets in the RPM don't
re-create the incoming and quarantine directories if they are already
there. Anyone else seeing this problem at all?
What I am trying to do is to not overwrite the incoming and quarantine
directories if they already exist, so you don't have to change their
ownership again if you are upgrading.
