I would suggest using mailscanner.cf as a filename. This way you are unlikely to
muck-up a user's already existing local.cf file.

(SA will automatically parse *.cf in the site rules dir, so both will get
parsed. Since parsing is in alphabetic order, and last-parsed wins, options in
mailscanner.cf will over-ride options in local.cf)
