No, refer to the last part of that FAQ.

"Update 2004-04-03. Julian included a patch in MS 4.29.7 which fixes the 
problem until SA is fixed. Users of MS 4.29.7 and later are recommended 
to expire tokens from there instead."

Look for "Rebuild Bayes Every" in MailScanner.conf if you want MS to 
handle it for you. I however still run it from cron without a glitch in 
over six months so it's up to you if you want to change or not. As long 
as it works.

When you say "auto expire via cron" it's a little confusing because 
that's what we call it when SA does it on its own (and fails).
