Problem with qf* files in mqueue.in

[Andreas Kasa]

After a upgarde from 4.25 to 4.30 i have similar proble. The debian sendmail
package is compile with posix locking not flock (there was a problem with
flick in the 2.4.x kernel series)

# How to lock spool files.
# Don't set this unless you *know* you need to.
# For sendmail, it defaults to "flock".
# For Exim, it defaults to "posix".
# No other type is implemented.
Lock Type = posix 

Try to set the lock type to posix.
