I have just released 4.66.4 which checks to see you have a consistent 
pair of MIME-tools and IO-stringy, as they are the important ones.
Please try this with your current installation (ie just install the 
mailscanner*rpm file) and see if it catches the error correctly. Then 
run the whole install.sh to get the new modules and then try it again 
and it should work this time.
