Dear all,

I have installed Sendmail, MailScanner, CLAMAV in redhat 8.0, After deamon
starts and a testing email is sent from other mail server, the sendmail
server
can receive the email. When I check the maillog file, It seems that the
email have not ben scanned by the mailscanner before reaching the clients'
email box.
Please advise.

Regards,
Simon

It looks like you redefined sendmail's daemon port(s) and didn't read
the instructions... so you ended with 2 or more sendmail daemons trying
to listen to the same port. Solution: You probably didn't even need to
change the configuration, but if you do, then read the instructions in
cf/README.

This error is from sendmail. "daem" is probably the cause, something
mis-configured in sendmail's mc.

Nothing about receiving a message and not scanning it. MailScanner is
not the cause of the errors shown, your sendmail configuration is the
problem so far.
