Hi Stephen,

i tried the following:

rcMailScanner start
ps -aef | grep -i mail

Tasks are running 

rcMailScanner stop

ps -aef | grep -i mail 

root      5031     1  0 21:21 ?        00:00:00 sendmail: Queue 
runner at 00:30:00 for /var/spool/mqueue


killed this task

then i tried:

rcsendmail start

ps -aef | grep -i mail

root      5199     1  0 21:48 ?        00:00:00 sendmail: accepting 
connections
mail      5204     1  0 21:48 ?        00:00:00 sendmail: Queue control
mail      5205  5204  0 21:48 ?        00:00:00 sendmail: running queue: 
/var/spool/clientmqueue


rcsendmail stop

no sendmail-task

this is what i do see on the running maschine after 
rcMailScanner start

marcel:/etc # ps -aef | grep -i mail
root      3841     1  0 21:50 ?        00:00:00 sendmail: accepting 
connections                                                                               
mail      3844     1  0 21:50 ?        00:00:00 sendmail: Queue control
mail      3846  3844  0 21:50 ?        00:00:00 sendmail: running queue: 
/var/spool/clientmqueue
root      3848     1  0 21:50 ?        00:00:00 sendmail: Queue 
runner at 00:30:00 for /var/spool/mqueue
root      3869     1  0 21:50 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl 
-I/usr/lib/MailScanner /usr/sbin/MailScanner 
/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
root      3870  3869 15 21:50 ?        00:00:08 /usr/bin/perl 
-I/usr/lib/MailScanner /usr/sbin/MailScanner 
/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
root      3873  3869 18 21:50 ?        00:00:08 /usr/bin/perl 
-I/usr/lib/MailScanner /usr/sbin/MailScanner 
/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
root      3877  3141  0 21:51 pts/2    00:00:00 grep -i mail
marcel:/etc #


and this on the not really working maschine:

s23:/var/run # ps -aef | grep -i mail
root      5250     1  0 21:51 ?        00:00:00 sendmail: accepting 
connections                                                                               
mail      5253     1  0 21:51 ?        00:00:00 sendmail: Queue control
mail      5254  5253  0 21:51 ?        00:00:00 sendmail: running queue: 
/var/spool/clientmqueue
root      5257     1  0 21:51 ?        00:00:00 sendmail: Queue 
runner at 00:30:00 for /var/spool/mqueue
root      5276     1  0 21:51 ?        00:00:00 MailScanner: master 
waiting for children, sleeping
root      5277  5276  3 21:51 ?        00:00:02 MailScanner: waiting for 
messages
root      5281  5276  4 21:51 ?        00:00:02 MailScanner: waiting for 
messages
root      5284  4715  0 21:52 pts/0    00:00:00 grep -i mail
s23:/var/run #


hope maybe this helps

if needed i could grant access to the maschine, as this maschine is just 
in the state of setup.
