Hi have a look in the
/etc/cron.hourly
and look at the
check_mailscanner

I found I had to change this line
/usr/local/MailScanner/bin/check_mailscanner >/dev/null 2>&1

to
/home/opt/MailScanner/bin/check_mailscanner >/dev/null 2>&1

also when you do
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mailscanner restart
do you get an error ?
if so then the init script may need some changes I have an example of that 
if you need it
thanks to some help on the mailscanner list and also Steve came up with a 
better one then mine that
works a bit better
