<P><FONT SIZE=2>When I restart MailScanner and continue using the session I get messages displayed on top of what I'm doing, messages like:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>"<user@mydomain.com> unknown"</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>"unmatched <"</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I've only restarted MailScanner, not sendmail.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>And the ssh client only closes if the session is clean and it doesn't close after restarting MailScanner.</FONT>
