True, but if you stop MailScaner without stopping the inbound/outbound
sendmails, this would be quite reasonable. All you'd be stopping is the scanning
of mail.

This way the sendmails would continue to accept inbound messages and deliver
already scanned messages.

ie: on a redhatish box:

service MailScanner stopms
<snapshot>
service MailScanner start

(at present there's no startms, but this should work)
