spam checks in /var/spool/mqueue.in without having MS service running???

service MailScanner stop
(That will stop MailScanner and both the incoming and outgoing sendmails)
service MailScanner startout
(That will start the outgoing sendmail only)
check_MailScanner
(That will start MailScanner on its own)

Then it will munch its way through the mqueue.in and deliver it all,
once filtered. Once the mqueue.in is empty and everything in mqueue has
been delivered, you can
service MailScanner stop
to shut it all down.

Don't forget to
chkconfig MailScanner off
to ensure it won't start back up when the system is rebooted.
