emails with No Message Collected

[kfliong]

I have no idea why sendmail is interfering with the mails. Could someone
please tell me how I could go about to find out the problem?

Would re-installing MailScanner help? And if I re-install MailScanner, do I
need to remove the old version first? What about MailWatch 0.2? Do I need
to do something with that as well?

Thanks in advance.
