My problems continue - Please help ASAP

[James Pifer]

It seems like it's catching up slowly. I haven't done a couple of these
yet, but I wanted to respond.

Only one version of MailScanner has been installed
ps -ef | grep sendmail gives the output at the bottom.
I believe the hardware is ok
Plenty of disk space free

Haven't run sendmail -q -v yet. Should I run that while MailScanner is
running, or stop MailScanner first, or leave MailScanner running, but
spam turned off?

Thanks,
James
