Hi

I have recently installed mail scanner 4.28.6 and would appreciate if i do
know the following

I am using Linux red hat 8 and Sendmail 8-12 .

When I  wanna see the status using the command

service MailScanner status it says

checking Mail Scanner daemons

Mailscanner -- OK

incoming sendmail: head: /var/run/sendmail.in.id no such file or directory
 OK
outgoing sendmail : OK

and there is no file sendmail.in.pid in the /var/run
but the are 2 files

sendmail.pid &
sendmail.out.pid

but when I restart the service with service MailScanner restart
it says

Starting MailScanner daemons

incoming sendail : Ok
outgoing sendmail : OK
MailScanner : OK

2) how do I know my mailScanner is really checking for incomming mail
viruses and which log files do i have to check so i can know about this

i have been checking the /var/log/maillog file but there are no instances
of MailScanner

thanks and Apreciate

regards

simon
