Quickfix - Restart sendmail and see.
If still present - stop sendmail, look for a file with extension .lock
somewhere in /etc/mail. Delete it and restart sendmail.

LIH is all for free speech. But it was created for a purpose - to help
people discuss issues about installing and running Linux. If your
messages are counterproductive to this purpose, your privileges to
submit messages can and will be revoked.
