 From the sendmail release notes:

>8.12.2/8.12.2 2002/01/13
>Don't complain too much if stdin, stdout, or stderr are missing at
>startup, only log an error message.

So at least the warning isn't fatal :-)

> > This warning was issued after setting up mailscanner:
> >
> > sendmail[9672]: File descriptors missing on startup: stdout, stderr; Bad
> > file descriptor
