Addition

[Randy Herban]

It does handle them, but I have to do a full restart which kills the running
MailScanner process.
I have other scripts that run and stop the incoming sendmail periodically.
However, when I was restarting it, it would not restart properly and the new
sendmail ended up delivering mail itself instead of dropping items directly
to queue.
I had copied the code used in the init script to start sendmail but mine did
not function as intended.

The init script already handles the sendmail processes.  Is yours not?

Julian,
I know this may seem like a small request, but it's a big deal to me. Would
you be able to add this somewhere to the /etc/init.d script for future
releases:

  startin)
        # Start daemons.
        echo 'Starting MailScanner daemons:'
        echo -n '         incoming sendmail: '
        StartInSendmail
        success
        echo
        ;;


This way I am able to restart the incoming sendmail via proper methods
instead of trying to run the sendmail commands myself.


Thanks
Randy
