Hello, sorry for answering so late, but i was a little bit sick.

First of all, i just upgraed to the latest stable version , but no luck.
Same shit happens again .. 8-)

/cache/mqueue and mqueue.in are on the same filesystem. Permissons are
double checkted.
OS is Suse 8.1.. With Kernel Linux nrz83 2.4.19-4GB... Locking is FLOCK, as
in the versions before.

I hoped that the new perl modules, which came with the latest updated fixed
the problem, but no luck.

What else should i check for you ? Any more infos i can give you. 

Sendmail Version: sendmail-8.12.6-159
SpamAssasin 2.63 is installed
Sophos Sweep as virusscanner
Hardware: P4. 2 GHz
Memory: 774 MB
Mqueue on hardware RAID 1

Stats for yesterday: 16698 Mails passed the Server and 336 had this error ..


Bye
Roman

Do you have file locking correctly configured? (read the docs, I don't know
what does sendmail use for file locking)...

Are /cache/mqueue and /cache/mqueue.in in the same filesystem? (mmhhh I
think MailScanner checks this when it's starting, so I don't think this
is)...

Well... check the locking thing and come back with more info... including OS
and version...
