[ale] sendmail/procmail/mailq

Some mail comes through OK. Others get hung in /var/spool/mqueue. This is
my box at home. All the users are local to it. When I run mailq, it shows
me (currently) 17 messages that are locked. For eg.

I've killed all sendmail ad procmail's, restarted sendmail. Sometimes,
that clears the queue. This time it had little affect.

I'm completely stumped. I haven't changd my networking setup in months and
I have drive space to write it to. Sendmail.cf has not changed in months.
This started about 1 month ago and seems to be getting worse.
