Well David just said that Sendmail changed its default locking method
in the last upgrade, so that's the cause... he changed the default and
recompiled Sendmail, you changed the setting in MailScanner, both are
running fine :-)

FWIW, I think changing a setting in MailScanner.conf is a better
alternative (at least, a cheaper one) than recompiling Sendmail...
maybe this should be added to the maq or faq, since, as people start
upgrading Sendmail, I guess this problem will be frequent.

Regards.
