I installed Mailscanner as rpm and exim from the tarball.

Do you mean the Mailscanner startupscript ?
This is the exim outgoing section from the mailscanner script ....

        elif [ $MTA = 'exim' ]; then
          startproc -p $srvpid $EXIM -C $EXIMOUTCF -bd -q10m 2> /dev/null
          rc_status
        fi

But I have no running deamon ...
Should there a proccess - or is the processview correct ?
