You didn't read the install notes.

*****************************************************************
A new rc variable called mailscanner_user has been added to the
startup script. This is a temporary workaround to address the
numerous taint mode problems that are still present in the code.
If you changed the "Run As User" variable in MailScanner.conf
you MUST also set the same value in /etc/rc.conf.
i.e. mailscanner_user="postfix"
The new variable uses su to start the master perl script as the
specified user, this effectively disables perl's taint mode.
