Mailscanner not scanning e-mails

[SW]

Raymond,

I've tried that, Mailscanner never really scanned any e-mails. It starts
fine and runs but it deosn't scan any incoming or outgoing e-mails. This is
why i think I something is wrong w/ where mailscanner looks for
incoming/outgoing e-mails and where cobalt sendmail puts them.

Also, when I try to run /etc/rc.d/init.d/Mailscanner stop  or stop, I get
the following error message:
[root at ns1 admin]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/MailScanner start
Starting MailScanner daemons:
         incoming sendmail: 554 readcf: unknown option name PidFile
ok
         outgoing sendmail: readcf: unknown option name PidFile
ok
         MailScanner:       ok

[root at ns1 admin]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/MailScanner stop
Shutting down MailScanner daemons:
         MailScanner:       MailScanner ok
         incoming sendmail: head: /var/run/sendmail.in.pid: No such file or
directory
ok
         outgoing sendmail: head: /var/run/sendmail.out.pid: No such file or
directory
ok

I've read some e-mails which say that is due to Cobalt using sendmail v.
8.9.3.

Thanks,

SW

Analyze this step by step. Take out SpamAssassin in your config and
restart. Most likely you have a configuration isse...
