Subject: Could not read executable /usr/sbin/sendmail

Hi guys,

I'm seeing the following error when I start MS.

Oct 23 08:08:45 mail MailScanner[7722]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner 
version 4.63.7 starting...
Oct 23 08:08:45 mail MailScanner[7722]: Could not read executable 
/usr/sbin/sendmail
Oct 23 08:08:45 mail MailScanner[7722]: Error in line 25, file 
"/usr/sbin/sendmail" for sendmail does not exist (or can not be read)

I'm using postfix, so it's using the compatible sendmail binary,

In my MailScanner.conf I have the following options set.

MTA = postfix
Sendmail = /usr/sbin/sendmail
Sendmail2 = /usr/sbin/sendmail

I'm running SLES10 PatchLevel 1, and I've removed the postfix RPM, and 
re-installed it, I've also tried using the sendmail RPM and this also 
gives the same error.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd be most grateful.

Thanks.

Regards.

Neil
