Have just read the documentation included at the above URL, I can't see 
the point in this script at all. Its main 2 features seem to be
1) Manages multiple incoming mail queues,
2) Restarts MailScanner periodically.

If the author had ever read the MailScanner documentation, he would know 
that
1) MailScanner already supports multiple work queues, in a far simpler 
and more flexible way than his suggested setup, this is all explained in 
the "Incoming Queue Dir" setting;
2) MailScanner restarts itself periodically for exactly the reasons he 
gives for restarting it, this is all explained in the "Restart Every" 
setting pretty near the top of the MailScanner.conf file.

So I don't see any point in this package at all.
