Look in /usr/lib/MailScanner/MessageBatch.pm

In there around line 1212 or so you will find a line that looks like
this:
my $MessageDir = tempdir( 'MSlintXXXXXX', CLEANUP => 1);

Change this to read
my $MessageDir = tempdir( 'MSlintXXXXXX', TMPDIR => 1, CLEANUP => 1);

and "MailScanner --lint" will work properly again. I was just putting a
temporary directory (which I don't use but which needs to be there for
the code to work) in the wrong place.
