[Scott Silva]

Is sendmail still running?
It should be disabled from starting as MailScanner
calls sendmail directly

|
|
| So, when i am running all of them, i can not see any mailscanner log
| (check, spam, virus ...) in my /var/log/mail.log.
| And if i stop mailscanner, i am still able to get and send e-mail.
|
| Sorry for this very long email.
|
| Thx
