I'm no expert put the error is coming from MailScanner/PFDiskStore.pm

[--snip--]
MailScanner::Log::WarnLog("In Start didn't find a C record when I ".
                               "wanted one %s %s", $type, $data)
       unless $type eq 'C';
[--snip--]

Is there any additional info after "Aug 24 13:21:38 mail 
MailScanner[17800]: In Start didn't find a C record when I wanted 
one"?  ie. What is the next line.

This to me (again no expert) looks to be an IO type failure.

How many emails are going thru this server?
Did you have the same problem with earlier versions of MailScanner?
What is the space available in the queue area? (var/spool area(df 
command?))

Just trying to help.
