I am trying to setup a mail box using FreeBSD 4.9, Sendmail, ClamAB and 
MailScanner. This is how I did it.

configured sendmail, and ensured that that it is exchanging mails

Installed ClamAV, disabled its daemon script 
(renamed /usr/local/etc/rc.d/clamavd.sh to clamavd.sh.sample), and ensured it 
can check for viruses through command line.

Installed MailScanner, created the necesser directories under /var/spool, 
configured the /usr/local/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf file, and renamed 
other .sample files to their respective file names.

Now, as per MailScanner instruction, I edited /etc/rc.conf and changed the line 

sendmail_enable="YES"
to
sendmail_enable="NO"

then did a shutdown now and exit

The system reinitiates, I get the message that MailScanner has started, in 
fact, doing a tail -f /var/log/maillog shows that MailScanner is indeed 
started, and is using flock (blah blah, etc.), but if I do a sockstat -4l, I 
find that SMTP is binding only to the loopback interface -- 127.0.0.1:25 only --
 when it is supposed to listen to all interfaces ? ? ? What should I do? or 
what did I do wrong???
