MailScanner init-script (feature request?)

Hello all...

When I'm upgrading MailScanner (this is on a RH Linux box),
I generally like to shut down MS and bring up the MTA 
(Postfix in our case)... so as to at least receive the mail 
during the 'downtime'.

At the moment the init-script (as in the RPM package)
handles shutting down/starting up the MTA and MailScanner
in one...

Is it possible to add some sort of 'custom' setting to
/etc/sysconfig/MailScanner so the script *only* stops/starts MS?

At the moment I edit the init-script by hand, but naturally
every time I upgrade I end up with an .rpmnew ...

Just a slight request... I appreciate that for some cases
handling both tasks is easier.
