Yes I did, and it seems to help, no more errors after that until now.
Perhaps mailscanner should test for Debian sendmail and display a
warning if the Lock Type is flock?

Another question: Is it normal that more MailScanner processes are
created after the update to 4.30? It seems that a MailScanner child
fork()s another process sometimes. I sometimes have 10 MailScanner
processes instead of 5...
