No sendmail processes start when MS starts

[Alden Levy]

I've been using MS for a few years now with very few problems. However, my old server is on its last legs, so I've decided to migrate to a shiny new box. I've moved my /etc/MailScanner conf, prefs, rules, etc. files from the old box to the new. I've not yet moved bayes, but I assume that shouldn't be a problem (right?)

The new OS is CentOS 4.4, and I've upgraded MS to the latest version. I'm unsure if MS worked properly before the upgrade. I am also using sendmail 8.13 (the old server was 8.10), and I changed the Lock Type. I've upgraded sa to 3.18 and clamav to 0.92, but I'm using clamav, not clamavmodule, so that should work. 

After I installed, I went through the routine of chkconfig sendmail off.....

When I start up MS, I get notification "starting MailScanner  [OK]" (or similar--I'm not in front of a console now), but no sendmail processes are started. My maillog files seem to be okay, all the children start, sa is okay as is clam; but of course, there are no sendmail processes. 

When I lint sa, everything's okay. I can't seem to debug MS; it hangs, because there's no mail--or is my assumption incorrect?  I'm not sure where to look, though. Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

Thanks,
Alden
