If anyone is adept at the sendmail startup scripts I'd love to hear from you. Kaspersky sets up a listener and I'd really like to get it into the startup scripts rather than manually setting it away. Some pointers would be most welcome.

If it's a milter you're referring to, here's an initscript for a milter called "sfcmilter" that I used to use a while back. Shouldn't be difficult to adapt it for a different milter.
