In the case of someone running mailscanner, yes - the way it works (as I recall, being a postfix+amavis+spamassisin person) is that one copy of sendmail queues up the mail in one spool area, mailscanner scans them and if they're good moves them to the main spool area for the second sendmail to pick them up. In this case, don't you just want to set the PidFile option to some other pid file on the other sendmail? -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
