Sendmail hijacking Mailscanner

[Gordon Colyn]

ITNT Banner CampaignHi all,

I have a problem where somehow sendmail gets started on my Linux server 
running MailScanner and therefore spam mail gets through as it by-passes the 
mailscanner process.  I have crawled through all the logs and have no idea 
what starts the sendmail process and it is also completely random...very 
frustrating.  Does anyone know of a script or a way that I can test to see 
if sendmail is running then stop the process automatically?

I am running Mandriva 2006, with sendmail 8.13.4.

thanks
