MailScanner not starting error

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Hi there --

I ran the nslookup command on the server, and it was able to resolve the 
phsmgout.partners.org hostname. After that I stopped MailScanner via the 
/etc/init.d/MailScanner script, and followed up with the killall sendmail
command. When I ran the ps -ef command immediately thereafter, I observed
two defunct sendmail processes.

After I restarted MailScanner, the two defunct processes were still present
along with two 'regular' sendmail processes. The first of the two defunct
processes disappeared after ten minutes, while the second one as of this
e-mail continues to exist.

Can the box actually resolve phsmgout.partners.org?
Also... try stopping mailscanner then doing a killall sendmail  to see if a
queue runner is zombied and not catching the HUP.
