Not sure if your problem is related to the Processing Attempts Database.
Maybe someone else can comment on that.

Are your sendmail processes running properly? Did you stop your old
"plain" sendmail service?

ps -ef |grep sendmail

output would help. Also check your queue directories. My
/var/spool/mqueue.in directory was gone after the Mailscanner 5.x upgrade
for some reason.

ls -ald /var/spool/*queue*

output would help.
