I tried that. When I check service MailScanner status, I get:
Checking MailScanner daemons:
         MailScanner:                                      [  OK  ]
         incoming sendmail:                                [FAILED]
         outgoing sendmail:                                [  OK  ]

And in my mail logs, I get:
Sep 21 20:35:42 engine sendmail[27938]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root):
opendaemonsocket: daemon MTA: cannot bind: Address already in use
Sep 21 20:35:42 engine sendmail[27938]: daemon MTA: problem creating SMTP socket
Sep 21 20:35:45 engine sendmail[28052]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root):
opendaemonsocket: daemon MTA: cannot bind: Address already in use
Sep 21 20:35:45 engine sendmail[28052]: daemon MTA: problem creating SMTP socket

Any other suggestions?

Thanks, again,
Alden
