MailScanner stopped working on Solaris 8 machines

[Steve Ochani]

Hello,

Yes that was it! The thing is that I had discovered this a few mins. before sending the post to
this list.
A recent patch had changed the sendmail init script back to the default way of starting up and
I had even changed it back, the problem was that the way I tested MailScanner was sending
a mail with pine to another user on the same system. I had forgotten that this doesn't go
through mailscanner. Apologies for my mistake, I was in panic mode today at work.

Thanks for your help.
