I would leave the name as mailscanner-sendmail. It does not start the
mailscanner service. You will still need the mailscanner service coming
with MailScanner 5.x. The script needs to be started before the
mailscanner service is launched, though.
Once you have it in /etc/init.d, you can persistently activate it with
chkconfig --add mailscanner-sendmail
chkconfig mailscanner-sendmail on
Then reboot or manually stop/start mailscanner using
/etc/init.d/mailscanner-sendmail stop
/etc/init.d/mailscanner stop
/etc/init.d/mailscanner-sendmail start
/etc/init.d/mailscanner start
