I answered my own question. It WAS a MailScanner problem, and I found the fix on their discussion list: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0301&L=mailscanner&P=R59912&I=-1
Apparently something in the DCC check code changed the umask value, and MailScanner assumed it wouldn't...

So far I had not been running any network checks, but I wanted to try DCC. At first it worked only when SA was invoked directly, but the check never ran from MailScanner. I found that there was a path problem with /usr/local/bin, where dccproc was installed. After I fixed this by creating a symbolic link in /usr/bin, I started seeing lines like this in the log: Jan 14 09:04:41 mail1 sendmail[32221]: i0EE4XP32199: Losing ./qfi0EE4XP32199: bogus file uid in mqueue Jan 14 09:04:41 mail1 sendmail[32221]: i0EE3nP32163: Losing ./qfi0EE3nP32163: bogus file uid in mqueue Jan 14 09:04:49 mail1 sendmail[32243]: i0EE4QP32193: Losing ./qfi0EE4QP32193: bogus file uid in mqueue Looking in mqueue, here's what I saw: -rw------- 1 root root 13853 Jan 14 09:04 dfi0EE4XP32199 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1874 Jan 14 09:04 Qfi0EE4XP32199 -rw------- 1 root root 525270 Jan 14 09:04 dfi0EE3nP32163 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1175 Jan 14 09:04 Qfi0EE3nP32163 -rw------- 1 root root 26762 Jan 14 09:04 dfi0EE4QP32193 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1209 Jan 14 09:04 Qfi0EE4QP32193 Clearly, sendmail is unhappy with 666 permissions on queue files. This may be more of a MailScanner problem, but it started as soon as I enabled DCC checks in SA and stopped again when I disabled them. I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this, and how it can be avoided. Note: I _have_ checked the archive, and found one similar complaint last year with no resolution...
