If you have a look inside the file thats doing it you would have known...

# Insert a random delay up to this value, to spread virus updates round
# the clock. 1800 seconds = 30 minutes.
# Set this to 0 to disable it.
UPDATEMAXDELAY=600
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner ] ; then
         . /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner
fi
export UPDATEMAXDELAY

Do you ever look at anything you install ? ;)

Bye,
Raymond.
