Taint issues on 4.85.2-1

In your MailScanner.conf there are permission and user settings. 

In short, it is complaining for some reason, and it is probably insecure permissions. I have ran the latest MS on every OS supported by MailScanner and have not seen this issue. So the only thing I can come up with right now is a permissions issue in your settings or on your file system.
