I'd also check to be sure that both sendmail processes are running

I'd run the following commands (using BSD syntax for ps):

ps -auxww | grep sendmail | grep queueonly
(should give you at least one result, and this sendmail should also have the
-bd option on it)

ps -auxww | grep perl | grep scan
(should give as many results as you have mailscanner children)

ps -auxww | grep sendmail | grep -- -q
(should give you one result, which should NOT have the -bd option on it)


That ps arg set should work on linux, but on solaris you'll need "ps -efa"
instead of "ps -auxww" unless you have /usr/ucb early in your path.


If you didn't get the results I said, then you're probably not running the
right set of sendmails, or you're not actually running mailscanner.
