Redhat 8.0 / command: service MailScanner status

[Florus Both]

Hi, do a

Chkconfig sendmail off

And try again, I guess sendmail was already running before you started
mailscanner (this happens automagically after an install)

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...
