Hi 

I have setup the sanitizer on an old Slackware 3.1 machine. Its running
perl 5.004, sendmail 8.9.3, and procmail 3.10.

It seems to work fine except when it catches anything to be sent to the
quarantine, then it takes about 2 minutes to deliver it, and while it is
delivering it if I type:

ps axf | grep -v grep | grep procmail -3

I get this:

58  ?  S    1:47 sendmail: accepting connections on port 25 
15111  ?  S    0:00  \_ sendmail: DAA15262: from queue 
15636  ?  S    0:00  \_ sendmail: NAA15146: from queue 
15637  ?  S    0:00  |   \_ procmail -a  -d eddiedp 
15649  ?  Z    0:00  |       \_ (sh <zombie>)
15650  ?  Z    0:00  |       \_ (sh <zombie>)
15651  ?  Z    0:00  |       \_ (sh <zombie>)

It does still seem to do the right thing in the end, but I don't think
its doing everything it is supposed to because it let through the Nimda
virus.
