mailscanner will automatically launch spamd ?

the problem is that my default sendmail.cf (or sendmail.mc) file was like it's said in the link i've done. i had nothing to change there !? i was surptised the first time when i installed it on the test workstation (RH 9) but it was the same on the server (RH 8).

the first time, i've made this to launch mailscanner :
service sendmail stop
chkconfig sendmail off
chkconfig --level 2345 MailScanner on
service MailScanner start

what "chkconfig sendmail off" exactly means ?
