Hi

in that case then sendmail isn't setup properly to talk to mailscanner. Look
at the manual steps for setting up sendmail in the wiki.

Also FC isn't considered a good system to run a server on as it needs a full
OS upgrade too often. May I suggest Centos as an alternative (it's the free
version of RHES).
