Everything seemed to be working fine until I installed MailScanner which doesn't check for the existance of sm-client.pid and restarts sm-client each time while sendmail seems to only start it when the pid file is missing. I see if reverting to the old sendmail.cf fixes this. No, same problem, so my sendmail.cf isn't the problem. I also found that there was no .hoststat directory in the queue directory and sendmail barked about that as well. Is this normal for CentOS?
