that may be.  Nothing worked until I made those changes.  local mail
never got delivered.  It just ended up in mail.in again after
mailscanner processed.  sendmail's natural behavior is to deliver
incoming mail rather than queueonly.  mailscanner changes that
behavior.  sm-client does not handle local delivery.  this machine
started out as RedHat 8.0 and has been upgraded twice.  Its a bandaid
since I'm moving away from redhat products for precisely the reasons
that its taken me 2 days to get mailscanner to run on what should be a
fairly brainless install.  I'm just trying to keep it together while I
test a new mail system (the one that's handling this email.)

I have yet to get the new system configured with mailscanner.  It runs
postfix for the mta which hands off delivery to dbmail.  I need to
figure out how to get mailscanner to process the mail before the handoff
to the lmtp (dbmail).  I'm not there  yet.
