All that was done, we have always run a split queue on our MailScanner 
servers.

I have stopped the errors by making changes to my queues, as follows.

added a new queue dir of /var/spool/mailq
added incoming queue at /var/spool/mailq/mqueue.in
added outgoing queue at /var/spool/mailq/mqueue

adjusted my MailScanner.conf and start scripts accordingly.
added "define(`QUEUE_DIR','/var/spool/mailq')dnl to my incoming *.mc and 
rebuilt my incoming *.cf file. Restarted Sendmail.

Now the SYSERR messages are gone, watching my out queue now to see if it 
drops.

Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a
logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
