Paul,

That is basically all there is to it.  However, if you are like me, 
anything custom that you've added like %rules-dir% files will more than 
likely have to be re-entered in.  If you use Mailwatch, some things with 
quarantine configuration to allow for released messages to bypass spam 
checks may have to be reconfigured.

The great thing about the upgrade of mailscanner.. it leaves your old 
installation in place :)
