Debian 3.0 with sendmail and MailScanner
Hi everybody!
I have one problem and maybe somebody of you have experience with this (or
can help me on some another way):
I'm using Debian 3.0 with sendmail 8.12.1. I tried to install MailScanner
(http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/) but I have problem:
On http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/install/sendmail.shtml are
instructions for configuring sendmail:
*****************************************************************
Currently, your copy of sendmail will be started by a script such
as /etc/init.d/mail or /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail. Somewhere in this script
will be the command to start sendmail itself. This should look like this:
sendmail -bd -q15m
You should change this to the following two lines:
sendmail -bd -ODeliveryMode=queueonly -
OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in
sendmail -q15m
*****************************************************************
But, in my /etc/init.d/sendmail I don't have "sendmail -bd -q15m" command.
I have configuration about "sendmail -bd -q15m" in /etc/mail/sendmail.conf.
Here are my /etc/init.d/sendmail and /etc/mail/sendmail.conf files:

# Parameter file for sendmail (sourced by /etc/init.d/sendmail)
# Make all changes herein, instead of altering /etc/init.d/sendmail.

# After making changes here, you'll need to run /usr/sbin/sendmailconfig

# Changes made herein will be kept across upgrades.

# Supported parameters (and defaults) are listed herein.

# Notes:
# * This setup allows sendmail to run in several modes:

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
# Queue Aging Configuration
#
# Why would you want to age your queues? On every queue-run
interval,
# sendmail will try *every* file in the queue... If a site is
down
# for a while, considerable time can be wasted each interval in
retrying
# it. The scheme supported allows aging by time, and can move the
older
# files to another (less frequently run queue), thereby reducing
overal
# system impact - and providing better mail throughput.
#
# Note that this support is completely separate from QUEUE_MODE=cron,
# you can age queues even if you're running QUEUE_MODE=daemon.
#
# There are four parts to the queue aging support, and these parts
# may be repeated, to operate on multiple queues.
#
# 1. Interval at which to age the queues (in minutes).
# What interval should you use? Roughly twice the normal queue
# interval, so that messages are tried twice in each successively
# slower queue.
#
# 2. Criteria (optional and defaults to interval). This is the
# specification of which files to move. It defaults moving
# files whose age in the queues exceeds the interval.
# This field, if specified can be very complex - supporting
# aging by just about anything! see qtool(8) for details.
#
# 3. To queue. This is the queue to which files will be moved.
# It may be fully qualified, or relative to /var/spool/mqueue.
#
# 4. From queue. This is the queue from which files will be
moved.
# It may be fully qualified, or relative to /var/spool/mqueue.
#
# Samples:
# AGE_DATA="[['25', '', 'hourly', 'main']]";
# Every 25 minutes, move any file older than 25 minutes from
# /var/spool/mqueue/main to /var/spool/mqueue/hourly
#
# AGE_DATA="[['25', '', 'hourly', 'main'],\
# ['125', '', 'daily', 'hourly']]";
# Same as the above, but also move files from the hourly
queue
# to the daily queue after 125 minutes in the hourly queue.
#
# AGE_DATA="[['25',\
# '-e \'$msg->{message} = Deferred: 452 4.2.2 Over quota\'',\
# 'overquota', 'main']]";
# Every 25 minutes, move all files deferred because of quota
# violations from /var/spool/mqueue/main to
# /var/spool/mqueue/overquota where they can be processed on
# a different interval, or by some other means.
#
# If the above samples suggest Perl arrays, well, they are...
#
# AGE_DATA=""; Perl array Queue aging data
#
AGE_DATA="";
