You can stop this just like any other cron job, redirect the output
somewhere.

eg.

* * * * * blah blah blah > /tmp/mailscanner.cron.log 2>&1

MailScanner restarts itself according to the config file parameter "Restart
Every", so really no need to restart it through cron at all.

If you're running check_mailscanner from cron, it doesn't restart it, just
ensures that it's running.
