Pb running mailscanner on debian box

[Desai, Jason]

Sounds like you still have another sendmail (or another mta) process
running.  From your own logs you've posted to the list, sometimes you had an
entry from "sendmail[2802]" and other times you had "sm-mta[5475]".  I don't
know sendmail at all, but I would think you want your DAEMON_PARMS to start
with "-bd" and not "bd" (notice the - at the beginning).

I would guess if you make that change and restart that sendmail would
complain about not being able to open a socket, because another process may
have it open.  If this is the  case, you'll need to find out what that
program is and stop it.

Hope this helps.
