Sendmail still processes emails, maiLScanner sits between TWO sendmail
processes (and queues) and moves valid email from the 'inbound' queue to
the 'oubound' queue, from where the second sendmail delivers it as
normal.

You need to setup sendmail in this gateway mode...see the wiki

OK, but the proces to send mail is up in  <http://127.0.0.1> MailScanner
warning: numerical links are often malicious: 127.0.0.1 port 25 then how
can send mail with a client.
For example if I try to connect with a telnet to the server  telnet
server 25, but I can't connect because the smtp in ther server.

is correct that sendmail startup in the localhost interface (
<http://127.0.0.1> MailScanner warning: numerical links are often
malicious: 127.0.0.1) and i haven't a proces that startup in
<http://0.0.0.0> MailScanner warning: numerical links are often
malicious: 0.0.0.0 port 25????

Hello Claudio,

So far I've seen nothing in your E-mails to indicate that MailScanner
should not be working properly. You seem to have both the Sendmail
processes (queue runners) running, and your process list shows
MailScanner with its childs forked & running as well.

Please note that MailScanner will NOT show up 'listening on a port' with
netstat. It is merely a program that sits idly by until it sees the
sendmail processes put mail in their respective queues.

Also, the init script might just be 'thinking' MailScanner is dead
because it is not seeing the correct process id(s).

Could you please tell us how you concluded that MailScanner is not
working? Have you sent an E-mail while running a 'tail -f' of your
mail.log/maillog file and seen anything happen (errors or not)?

Regards,

A. Eijkhoudt
