Does your installation therefore require that the MailScanner & sendmail
init scripts both have to be started? If this is the case, the only
problem is that on reboot, only MailScanner will start, since when it was
installed, sendmail was 'switched off' with chkconfig.
Does bandwidth monitoring work ok? I'd still find it useful to see your
modified init scripts :)
Thanks.
