I thought posix was seperate from sendmail....like a different mail server
or something?  Anyways I'm gonna try that and see what happens.  Thanks
again.

That command comes back empty so it's not compiled with it or whatever
correct?

It should be commented out.  What I was looking for in the sendmail line was
HASFLOCK (probably worth double checking that its not there by #
sendmail -bt -d0.10 < /dev/null | grep HASFLOCK

Assuming HASFLOCK isn't there then your sendmail hasn't been compiled to
support flock locking.  If that is the case then you should set Lock Type =
posix in MailScanner.conf (note that line should not be commented!)
