When you do a service MailScanner stop (/etc/init.dMailScanner stop)
and do a ps ax | grep send you often still see sendmail running.<br>
<br>
As soon as this occurs and you start MailScanner it comes back no error
and shows it started but in actuality it's not doing anything.<br>
<br>
The only way I seem to be able to correct this to kill the PID's of
sendmail after MailScanner is stopped to insure that clean ones are
started .<br>

ps. Side note, where do wiki content page errors get sent too.<br>
