I was just testing conf.d directory to avoid MailScanner.conf edition and i
had a rare scenario.

Its possible that MailScanner reads:

1.- MailScanner.conf
2.- ./conf.d/custom-config.conf
*3.- ./conf.d/custom-config.conf~*
*
*
As far as i tested MailScanner also read vim's temp file just like any .conf
file.

I know that it has a simple workaround just delete the temp file. But i want
to report this in case its a simple regex edition.

Just to explain why a temp file is different than the original one is
because i copied the file from a backup and i got differences between them,
and as it is shown in the secuence the temp file configs where the last read
by MS.

Thanks!
