It's not a bug, it's just that this is all based out of the 
ConfigDefs.pl file, which has the internal default values for 
everything. If you don't specify a "MailScanner Version Number =" value 
in MailScanner.conf, this is the value it will use. I didn't see any 
point in writing yet more code to handle it as a special case. And I 
didn't see any point in making the build scripts yet more complicated so 
they can set this value to the current version number. It's just there 
to make sure you don't use a MailScanner.conf for 4.58 on 4.57 for example.
