mailscanner status command

[Dan Leavitt]

Very nice.   FYI, twice today, after updating to 3.20-6, this script
reported the outgoing sendmail as FAILED.  I just restarted it both times so
didn't have a chance to notice what the ps -ax command would have returned.
We had not noticed any lack of mail.  I'll write again if I see it again.
