Does SuSE 7.x have a sendmail version recent enough to support the
clientmqueue?
If not, then it's nice and simple and the MailScanner tar installation
guide will help you set up the init.d script correctly.

Sounds like I need to setup a SuSE 7 box to get this sorted properly.

Once MailScanner has processed the messages, it doesn't deliver them
directly itself but just puts them in an outgoing queue (/var/spool/mqueue)
and tells sendmail they are awaiting delivery.

Take a look at
http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/install/sendmail.shtml
as you might find it helps you understand what is needed.
