Sendmail user open problem

[Jonathan Arcand]

My old config:
# Start the sendmail daemon:
if [ -x /usr/sbin/sendmail ]; then
  echo "Starting sendmail daemon (/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q15m)..."
  /usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q15m
fi

My new config:
# Start the sendmail daemon:
if [ -x /usr/sbin/sendmail ]; then
echo "Starting sendmail daemon"
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -ODeliveryMode=queueonly -OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/
mqueue.in
/usr/sbin/sendmail -q15m
/usr/local/MailScanner/bin/check_mailscanner
fi

The problem appear at the first boot with the new config but if I use the
old config, the problem persist.

I'm using a Slackware 7.1 and the file is /etc/rc.d/rc.M
