You want to let MailScanner's init.d script start up the 2 sendmail
processes it needs. Don't start a normal "sendmail -bd -q15m" as well!

What does your mailscanner rc.d script say? It should start 2 sendmail
processes, then mailscanner itself (using the check_mailscanner script). Do
not run a separate sendmail rc.d script as well.
