v4 boot script and other questions

[Jeff A. Earickson]

Hi,

   I'm experimenting with the upgrade from v3 to v4.  First off,
is there a boot-time /etc/init.d script for MailScanner v4 already?
Or just invoke "/opt/MailScanner/bin/check_mailscanner" from my
v3-era boot-script?

   Second, I'm wondering about weirdness when I run the sendmail
queue by hand with v4.  With v3, I used:

Delivery Method = queue

instead of batch.  My boot-time script for sendmail looks like:

#---delivery-only mode for mailscanner
/usr/lib/sendmail -bd -ODeliveryMode=queueonly -OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in

#---process /var/spool/mqueue every 5 minutes for actual delivery
/usr/lib/sendmail -q5m

For v4, I commented out the "-q5m" line in my sendmail boot script,
and used "Delivery Method = batch".  If I process /var/spool/mqueue
by hand, ie "/usr/lib/sendmail -v -q", then I get complaints in
the window where I did "/opt/MailScanner/bin/check_mailscanner" from,
which doesn't look good:
