SpamAssassin 3.2.5 woes

[Julian Field]

When I want to shutdown MailScanner and sendmail together, I have to 
admit that I occasionally resort to
    service MailScanner stop
    service sendmail stop
The difference being that the MailScanner line stops sendmail listeners 
etc and won't let them start up any new processes, but leaves existing 
SMTP connections open. The sendmail line terminates all active 
connections and kills *all* sendmail processes. Not a very tidy thing to 
do in my view, which is why I haven't incorporated it into the 
MailScanner stop script, but occasionally it is necessary.
