Its not broken, thats now the correct behaviour of sendmail.

I had to change this line in /etc/init.d/MailScanner

$SENDMAIL -L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q15m 2>/dev/null

to...

$SENDMAIL -L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q15m -OPidFile=/var/run/sm-client.pid
2>/dev/null

That should do it.

BTW Mandrake users (like myself) need to change the user and group in
the line above that to mail.  Julian - could that be made configurable
please?
