Problems with inbound mail queue

I am not sure if this is a mailwatch or mailscanner problem, so I am
posting it to both forums.
I am having a considerable amount of emails building up in the inbound
mailq.
As of this morning there are 238 messages in there. There does not seems
to be anything wrong with the messages, some are spam and others are not.
They do not appear to have been processed at all, just hanging around in
the queue.
Mailscanner sees the messages, but does not process them. Here is a
snippet of Logs;

I read some other posts about this and some people are just deleting
them and purging the from the DB, but this does not seem to be a
"solution" but a way to manage the problem. 
Does anyone know what the "fix" is? This problem did not start until I
upgraded to Mailwatch 1.0.2 and MailScanner 4.4.6-1. It was installed
from RPM on Redhat 9 running Sendmail 8.13.3-1. Mailwatch is running
with Apache 2.0.52 and php 5.0.3-1.

Any ideas, anyone?
