The usual way for me to restart MailScanner after a change is

service MailScaner restart;tail -f /var/log/maillog

Then the output of the syslog file will show wether or not MailScanner
was happy or if I had my fingers all thumbled up again and made some
horrible typos.

Apache does not always tell me what typo I made either. Most of the
times I have to dig into the error log to find it. But apache always
clearly indicates it did not start and I have seen cases where
MailScanner did not report a failure on the command prompt but it was
obvious from the logs that it did not startup either.
