They are assentially the same (less the Capital letter, and that one
setup MS to run at runlevel 2 as well... the --level is just someone
being explicit:-).

Ok, so you don't pass any mail through the system, and don't get any
logs
of this nonevent? So... "service MailScanner start", then use the
connection
testing examples in the wiki
http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=documentation:test_troubleshoot
:mta:connexion

... If that works OK, then arrange for mail to be passed through it...
The
same as you did for the "other machine"... Be it by FW rules, MX record
or
whatever.

Or have you done that, and it still doesn't work?
