Errors after upgrade

[Alden Levy]

After further examination, and the uninstall (rpm -e mailscanner) and
reinstall of MailScanner, I no longer receive the error when I set Debug =
yes in MailScanner.conf.
However, it seems that even though I have Max Children = 2, I am getting
processes dying and spawned very quickly.  I searched the archives and found
that sometimes SA is to blame, so I set Use SpamAssassin = no, but I get the
same problem.  Here is a sampling of my maillog:

I am wondering if the changes to sendmail might have something to do with
this.  Can someone please explain the relationship between the various
queues in sendmail and MS?  For example, is my outgoing queue directory for
MS supposed to be the same as some queue in sendmail?  Sorry if this is
silly or stupid, but MS was working like a dream a few days ago, and needed
very little input from me (except for the occassional upgrade/patch).

Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Alden
