Ok that brings me to the next question, in the install.FREEBSD it says
to add certain lines to /etc/rc.conf

sendmail_enable="YES"
# MailScanner starts here
mta_start_script="/opt/MailScanner/bin/rc.MailScanner start"
MailScanner_incoming_queue="/var/spool/mqueue.in"
MailScanner_queue_time="15m"
MailScanner_check="/opt/MailScanner/bin/check_mailscanner"
MailScanner_pidfile="/opt/MailScanner/var/MailScanner.pid"
# MailScanner ends here


Thats what my rc.conf looks like, should i make sendmail_enable=NO ?

And then allow mailscanner to start it ?
