My original questions were:

> Hi,
> I'm having trouble with lock files in /var/spool/mail/ staying
around.
> All of our users retrieve mail using pop3d and the sendmail version is
> 8.8.4. Any light to shed?

and...

>Hi,
> Several of our customers have notified us that their email are being

Come to find out these problems are related. It all has to do with Pop3d.
So I ditched pop3d and got qpopper. Problem solved. Qpopper compiled just
fine under 3.2a and have not had anymore problems or conflicts with
Sendmail 8.8.4
