make sure you're lock type in MailScaner.conf is correct. This is quite 
a common problem esp is you're running sendmail 8.12 (or earlier) and 
have upgraded recently.

The default for sendmail changed to be posix as the majority of users 
use sendmail 8.13 rather than flock which sendmail 8.12 and previous use.

ie

sendmail 8.12 Lock Type should be flock
sendmail 8.13 Lock Type should be posix.
