MailScanner 4.88.5-3 not being invoked by sendmail

I'm not at the server at the moment, but I'll run the sequence below and 
record the result.  I have clamav and f-prot for anti-virus.  I do get 
intermittant log entries from sendmail not being able to bind to the 
port, but sendmail has been up everytime I check the port via telnet.

I'm not a Perl guru.  Is there a FAQ about using CSPAN so I can load the 
missing modules?

|     5. service MailScanner restart
| That will stop your mail bypassing MailScanner.

| If you have anything such as spamd running, you can switch that off.
| MailScanner talks to SpamAssassin more efficiently than that daemon, so
