You'll need to tell sendmail to just queue the mail for delivery, not actually deliver it. in /etc/mail/sendmail.conf, you'll something like: DAEMON_PARMS="-bd -OPrivacyOptions=noetrn -ODeliveryMode=queueonly -OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in"; then get Mailscanner to pick up the mail from the queue, scan it, and put it back into sendmail's delivery queue. in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf: Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/mqueue.in Outgoing Queue Dir = /var/spool/mqueue sendmail doesn't directly call mailscanner, both run as separate processes and just put the necessary files where the other can find them, -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
