I just tried installing 4.85.2-3 on Jessie and got the following at the end of the process. Apparently it didn't like that /etc/default/mailscanner didn't exist.
I created it manually. Should I just rerun the installer?
=======================================================================
Installing the MailScanner .deb package ...

----------------------------------------------------------
Installation Error
The MailScanner package failed to install. Address the required
dependencies and run the installer again.
Note that Perl modules need to be available system-wide. A
common issue is that missing modules were installed in a
user specific configuration.
=======================================================================
One thing I did do, was copy the /etc/MailScanner directory from one of my running servers so that I could easily update MailScanner.conf. I don't know if this threw anything off - it was just the stuff in /etc/MailScanner, no binaries were on the system yet...
