Does the sendmail section of /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner look ok?
Especially the inpid and outpid declarations.
Also check /etc/rc.d/init.d/MailScanner for the same thing.
Somewhere, the init scripts have a problem.
Also look for MailScanner.rpmnew. Maybe an old init script is lurking
and the .rpmnew just needs to be renamed.
