I think the configuration for MailScanner is straight out of the box so

Spamassassin and Sophos, yes I turned them on. That is all that I can

file.

Here is the command and the output.

./sendmail -bv cslyon at netsvcs.com
cslyon at netsvcs.com... deliverable: mailer esmtp, host netsvcs.com., user
cslyon at netsvcs.com
