You can't put the script in a crontab. You put the script in an
executable file and put something like, e.g.

25 5 * * * /path/to/script

in the crontab to run the script every day at 05:25, or if it's a system
crontab

25 5 * * * user /path/to/script

where user is the user to run as (MailScanner's Incoming Work User).
