/var/spool/mqueue not flushing

For some reason, Sendmail isn't being invoked to flush messages in
/var/spool/mqueue after scanning.  The path for it is correct in
MailScanner.conf and it reads like MailScanner is responsible for
triggering Sendmail to flush this queue.


# Set whether to use sendmail or exim
MTA = sendmail

# Set how to invoke MTA when sending messages MailScanner has created
# (e.g. to sender/recipient saying "found a virus in your message")
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Sendmail = /usr/sbin/sendmail


I've also changed the QUEUETIME in /etc/rc.d/init.d/MailScanner to 1m,
but that isn't helping either.

So far, I've set up a cronjob to handle it, but I can't see this as the
normal course of action.  What am I missing?  I use MailScanner-4.13-3
and Sendmail 8.12.8.

Thanks,
