This could downgrade a perl module that is needed by mailscanner. You could 
have no problems, and you could have many.

The SAFER method is the first method;
rpm -e perl-IO perl-File-Temp perl-Math-BigInt perl-Math-BigRat perl-bignum

yum update perl

re-install the current (or your preferred) mailscanner version to get the perl 
modules re-installed.
> # reboot  (if needed to get on a new kernel -- or just restart MailScanner)

You hope everybody uses it, and
you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
