Strange behavior since update to latest version... Failed to link message body between queues error..

[Mariano Absatz]

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...
