What I usually do is the following after downloading the tarball to your
server:

1.    disable the check_mailscanner command in crontab with #
2.    move the softlink in /opt like this : 
        [root at host]# mv /opt/MailScanner /opt/MailScanner_4.58.9
3.    unpack Jules's TAR package
4.    Run the install.sh script
5.    change directory to /opt/MailScanner/etc and run the following
command:

[root at host]# ../bin/upgrade_MailScanner_conf /opt/MailScanner_4.58.9/etc/MailScanner.conf /opt/MailScanner/etc/MailScanner.conf > MailScanner.new
        [root at host]# vi MailScanner.new (here I check that all the
settings are still correct and see what new toys Jules added to the mix)
        [root at host]# mv MailScanner.conf MailScanner.old
        [root at host]# mv MailScanner.new MailScanner.conf
6.    change directory to reports/en and run the following command:

[root at host]# ../../../bin/upgrade_languages_conf /opt/MailScanner_4.58.9/etc/reports/en/languages.conf /opt/MailScanner/etc/reports/en/languages.conf > languages.new
        [root at host]# mv languages.conf languages.old
        [root at host]# mv languages.new languages.conf
        [root at host]# cp /opt/MailScanner_4.58.9/etc/reports/en/*.txt .
(note the dot)
        [root at host]# cp /opt/MailScanner_4.58.9/etc/reports/en/*.html .
(note the dot)
7. If using MailWatch, copy the SQLBlackWhiteList.pm and MailWatch.pm
files to the new install like this:
        [root at host]#
cd /opt/MailScanner/lib/MailScanner/CustomFunctions/
        [root at host]#
cp /opt/MailScanner_4.58.9/lib/MailScanner/CustomFunctions/SQLBlackWhiteList.pm /opt/MailScanner_4.58.9/lib/MailScanner/CustomFunctions/MailWatch.pm . (note the dot)
8.   That shoudl be about all, then you can run the follwing command and
monitor the log file for any errors:
    [root at host]# /opt/MailScanner/bin/check_mailscanner; tail
-f /var/log/maillog
9. Re-enable the cronjob if all went well


If I missed a step someone might like to point it out.

Cheers
