That was supposed to be fixed in 0.10.00-1.
I think it looks for the same file that MailScanner generates when you
run service MailScanner stop.
/var/lock/subsys/MailScanner.off
To quote the changelog "Now will not restart MailScanner if MailScanner
was shut down using its init script."
So if you stop MailScanner from it's init script, and then reboot, does
it still restart?
You might need to restore some of the changes you have made.
