Mailscanner keeps starting and mail delivers, but Mailscanner not processing mail...

Did you turn the sendmail service off?  Is it possible you have a typo
in your config?
This line is the reason I ask:
 
Jul  7 10:14:34 gate sendmail[32605]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): can not
chdir(/var/spool/mqueue.in\r/): No such file or directory

	Hi All,

	I am running:

	Fedora Core 4

	MailScanner 4.54.6-1 (latest)

	Sendmail 8.13.4


	When I start mailscanner sendmail doesn't seem to start properly
and Mailscanner does not process any mail...

	Sendmail still seems to deliver the mail though

	I first thought it may be a permission issue on
/var/spool/mqueue.in or /var/spool/MailScanner but no combinations there
seem to work

	This is my output when I start mailscanner:

	[root at gate ~]# service MailScanner start && tail -f
/var/log/maillog

	Starting MailScanner daemons:

	:        incoming sendmail
[FAILED]

	Invalid MTA in /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner

	:        outgoing sendmail

	Invalid MTA in /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner
