Help trying to install MailScanner 4.05-3 on SuSE 7.0

[Julian Field]

You don't want to be using the sendmail init.d script. The MailScanner 
init.d script will start up the 2 required sendmail processes as well as 
MailScanner itself. So disable the sendmail one and just use the 
MailScanner one.
