  The init.d scripts need to be different for all the different versions of
  RedHat :-(
  The best way to check it has all stopped completely is to do a
  ps ax | grep mail
  This will show up MailScanner and sendmail processes, and of course there
  should be none when MailScanner is completely stopped.
  If you see any processes (apart from the "grep mail" process) then you can
  just kill them.
