MS/SA won't make much use of other languages. You can set the character
encoding you want to use (probably ISO-8859-15 in your case) in
MailScanner.conf, and then just translate the reports into Swedish. (Please
can you send me the translation results if you do this so I can add them to
the distribution!)

Doesn't make any difference these days as the "cylinder/head/sector"
address is totally artificial now as they are translated from the real
position on the disks.

I would advise putting /var/spool into a partition on its own. That way
mqueue+mqueue.in are on the same partition, and sendmail will handle
gracefully odd things happening like your quarantine filling up.

You might want to put /var/log on its own too, so rampant logs don't knock
your server out.
