Problem isn't so much MailScanner (that part is rather trivial,
especially with the RPM install:-) as all the perl modules... It's not
easy to "undo" the upgrades done by the install script. You'd have to
go through the list (as found in the install package) and do whatever
is appropriate for each... be that a forced downgrade... icky... or
... whatever.
It is probably much less work to redo the install... Less risk you
miss something:-).
Then again, if your problems are due to using a bad set of update
sources, mixing perl module sources (Jules package, some "bad" repo,
some CPAN ...) then ... it might not help:-/. Then again, with a
little ... attention, a few good sources and pretty much the mix
above, you can have a very successful and workable setup, so it all
depends...:)

Cheers
