updated sendmail, now MailScanner isn't catching viruses

[Spicer, Kevin]

Have you checked sendmail (on its own) isn't running (bypassing MailScanner).  Some of the rpms have a habit of kicking off the sendmail process and/or configuring it to start at boot.

service sendmail stop
service MailScanner stop
ps -elf | grep sendmail
[ kill any sendmail processes ]
chkconfig sendmail off
service MailScanner start

Then test with eicar.com!
