Cobalt RAQ4 Mailscanner Installation problems

[Steve Knott]

Sorted!
Got a reply back from Joe the guy who wrote the guide.

Heres his reply

When you stop MailScanner, do

killall -9 sendmail

then do

ps -auxw | grep -i mail

to make sure nothing is running,then start MailScanner.

-----------
Obviously sendmail hadn't properly shutdown before starting MailScanner.

Thanks for a great program.

Regards
Steve
