Hmm... I already did the "bad" thing, by posting a question there, but
someone already corrected/answered it.

Ok... Would you prefer a separate "staging" page w/ suggestions for the MAQ?
That way you could move them over to the official "blessed" MAQ page
when you were comfortable w/ them.

Note: I dropped in a link to what looked like the appropriate section of
the MAQ, and one external link.

As opposed to what's on the MAQ page (possibly due to paranoia)
I did this:

 > tar --no-recursion -cvf mailscanner.old.tar `rpm -ql mailscanner`

I figured that this would preserve any weird tweaks that I made to files
under the "report" directory. In a pinch, I could recover any old file
quickly and easily.
I also did a pre-install/upgrade "diff" on my current "MailScanner.conf"
vs. a "MailScanner.conf.orig"

I'm not sure that has a place in an upgrade procedure...
