Julian,

I turned off RBL checking, Spam checking, and tried to run sendmail -q
-v both with MailScanner running and not running.

I still have tons of mail in both mqueue and mqeueu.in that isn't
getting delivered.

See attached txt file which is the output of running sendmail commands.

Thanks,
James
