Try stopping MailScanner. Kill all sendmail processes and restart
MailScanner. Also make sure that sendmail is not starting from an init
script:

	chkconfig sendmail off

The MailScanner init script starts and stops sendmail so the sendmail init
script should never be enabled.

Hope this helps,

Steve
