Connecting mailscanner to sendmail

[Remco Barendse]

Just a thought, would it be an idea to make the number of processes that
will be started a MailScanner.conf option?
Was thinking of something like
Mail volume for this server = lo/med/high

Would save some mem on low mem boxes and would have no negative result on
mail processing speed if the number of processes is reduced but it is a
low volume box.

Maybe even make it a number to control how many processes will be running?
