How would I know this?

That's the problem they are not saying anything about MailScanner. Shouldn't 
they at least say scanned?

> What does your syslog show as the mail is being processed? 

I think that we mave have found something here:

Aug 25 18:31:12 home sendmail[4474]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket: 
daemon MTA: cannot bind: Address already in use
Aug 25 18:31:12 home sendmail[4474]: daemon MTA: problem creating SMTP socket
Aug 25 18:31:12 home sendmail[4474]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket: 
daemon MTA: server SMTP socket wedged: exiting
Aug 25 18:31:14 home root: Process did not exit cleanly, returned 0 with 
signal 11

Spam Actions = deliver
