Got my new server hardware and have started to build
the new server soon to get rid of the old 6.2 box with the
fab. 3.x Mail-Scanner... :-)

OS           : RedHat 8.0
Sendmail     : 8.12.5-7
Mail-Scanner : 4.05-3

Everything installed and compiled just fine and messages
send from another computer to a user on the new system gets
signed ok in the header (found to be clean), A eicar test
file was stopped, send to /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine
and a virus warning is send to the user and a copy to me at
my postmaster address so far so good... but....

When I issue the command "service MailScanner status" I'm
receiving a error on the outgoing sendmail.

Checking MailScanner daemons:
         MailScanner:          [  OK  ]
         incoming sendmail:    [  OK  ]
         outgoing sendmail:    [FAILED]

And a snip from /var/log/messages

Nov  5 23:28:35 bromberg2 MailScanner:  succeeded
Nov  5 23:28:35 bromberg2 MailScanner:  succeeded
Nov  5 23:28:35 bromberg2 MailScanner:  failed

Since this server is not yet in production I can not
send a message from a outlook client over the new
MailScanner to the outside but when I issue a command
"sendmail email at adres.com" fill in some blabla and hit "."
it sends out fine to anyone anywhere...
