Perl module name?  I've not looked really closely at the port, but this might
indicate that the correct rename would be p5-MailScanner (though the install
instructions refer to replacing the MTA startup settings in rc.conf, so I doubt
it.)

If not, I would think mailscanner is the right name.  See
        http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-naming.html
section 4.2.4.

Eivind.
