Today one message wouldn't come through at all because of this error. All I
saw was a connection from the sending mailserver and an error:

Jan 13 17:13:39 ram1 sendmail[21041]: RAA21041:
from=<cam at us-support.external.hp.com>, size=591800, class=0, pri=621800,
nrcpts=1, msgid=<200201131520.HAA19065 at us-support.external.hp.com>,
proto=ESMTP, relay=[194.109.74.179]
Jan 13 17:13:39 ram1 sendmail[21041]: RAA21041: SYSERR(root): Cannot reopen
dfRAA21041: No such file or directory

As you can see, it's a rather large e-mail and it just contains text. The
sending mailserver just kept on trying every 15 minutes. Nothing appeared in
the mqueue or mqueue.in.

The message would only come through once I started sendmail the 'old' way.
