I've seen that before, While I'm not absolutely sure what it was, as I remember it was that there was a previous copy of sendmail 
running that was not started by MailScanner and MailScanner wouldn't stop it. So I did a "chkconfig sendmail off" and "service stop 
sendmail" to stop the previous sendmail and then started MailScanner normally and it worked.

This was on RedHat Linux. That seems to me what I did that fixed it.
