Would it be possible (and simpler) to just re-install the whole thing, 
integrate with sendmail, antivirus, sa, razor... and then run a 
upgrade_MailScanner_conf (and / or upgrade_languages_conf) with 
reference to the old MailScanner.conf? Changes to the mailscanner 
sysconfig file shouldn't be required at all. Possibly a task that 
shouldn't require more than a couple of hours..

Just make sure you follow the practices as outlined in the wiki.
