restarting MailScanner and/or MTA

[Jerry Benton]

Mail will not be skipped by MailScanner if you are using Postfix. It goes int the Postfix’s hold directory and is picked up by MailScanner. If MailScanner is not running it would just sit there until MailScanner started.

In the old days, the init.d script would start MailScanner, then the MTA.  One stop shopping.  Now they're started independently.  If one started the MTA outside of the MailScanner start/stop script, you could end up with mail coming in and bypassing MailScanner altogether.
