 From your output below, you should leave Lock Type as the default (i.e.
comment it out and let MailScanner set it for you).

Once you have done that, you should be okay.

Make sure you only have the MailScanner sendmail processes running, and you
don't have any of the original ones. You should have 1 doing "-bd" and 1
doing "-q15m", and probably 1 running as smmsp process the clientmqueue.

With all that lot in place, you should only be getting 1 copy of each message.

If you would like me to login and take a look for you, send me login
details and root pw off-list and I'll check it looks okay for you.
