Well, that was a mistake!  Now after removing the file by hand, and
restarting, I run status and get:
Checking MailScanner daemons:
         MailScanner:                                      [  OK  ]
         incoming sendmail: head: cannot open `/var/run/sendmail.in.pid' for
reading: No such file or directory
                                                           [FAILED]
         outgoing sendmail:                                [  OK  ]


Any other thoughts?
 Thanks,
Alden
