daemon MTA: problem creating SMTP socket

[Alex Neuman]

Perhaps you should modify your scripts to wait a while and then kill any
remaining sendmail processes.

I've had this problem after updates. It only happens to me if I neglect to
stop sendmail. I'm not sure why stopping Mail Scanner doesn't always stop
all sendmail daemons. To correct this I stop Mail Scanner and stop sendmail
again untill I don't see them in the process list. Then I start Mail Scanner
and all is well.

You've tried to start your MTA but something was already listening on port
25.

May be due to not shutting down the sendmail service after installing
MailScanner.
