You can reinstall MailScanner but you will still have the same perl
conflicts next time a perl module gets updated on RPMforge (or whatever your
repo is that has the conflicting package).

I would simply force the install of the perl modules (I do it all the time)
with the conflict from the MailScanner installation:

# rpm -Uhv --force
/var/cache/yum/rpmforge/packages/perl-Sys-Syslog-0.18-1.rpm

Substitute "rpmforge" above with whatever your repository name is and the
RPM file in question.
