On our situation, the emails are being processed, but they are still
standing in the mqueue.in/ directory... I just checked the setting "Lock Type",
and it was not set to posix, so I just changed that. I have to check if that
works....

One strange thing, at the office we are also running Mailscanner. This machine
is Fedora Core 4, which has a newer sendmail deamon (In the 8.13-range). Here
also the "Lock Type" was set to the default (flock), but here we were not
having these problems.....
