Failed to link message body between queues

[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).

I think the cause for the errors after the upgrad is the better (=slower)
mime decoder with the higher cpu usage on low volume mail server. On high
volume mail server this error come also in earlier versions (when sendmail
was compile with posix locking).

# 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.
