I've made sure over several years that this package installs smoothly
with out other related software like perl, spamassassin, dcc and
clamav, all paths use /opt/csw paths by default. The /usr/local
references are harmless since they refer to commercial software we
will never carry and that actually install in that path since the
authors of MailScanner have chosen default paths that actually match
default paths for that scanner.

Changing or removing those paths/files that have those paths would
make the package considerably worse for users who opt for one or more
commercial scanners to complement ClamAV which is very common.
