Okay, but if so, now I'm confused about the note that says, "Instead of 
making changes directly to this file, you should put your configuration 
options in your own file in /usr/mailscanner/etc/conf.d/. Example file: 
/usr/mailscanner/etc/conf.d/my_settings.conf."

So if I'm changing variables directly in MailScanner.conf, what should I 
be putting in /usr/mailscanner/etc/conf.d/my_settings.conf?
