Hello,

Whenever I start MailScanner I get the following error:

MailScanner # cat /var/log/mail.err
Jul 28 18:21:34  sendmail-out[12986]: unable to write pid to
/var/run/sendmail.pid: file in use by another process
Jul 29 15:46:35  sendmail-out[5624]: unable to write pid to

Aug  1 13:57:47  sendmail-out[26165]: unable to write pid to
/var/run/sendmail.pid: file in use by another process

No other application, outside of MailScanner starting sendmail, is running.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thank you,

James
