Hi Steve,

Try the follwing sequence of commands:

service crond stop
service sendmail stop
killall -9 sendmail
cd /var/spool
rm -R mqueue
mkdir mqueue
chmod 700 mqueue
chown root:mail mqueue
service sendmail start
service crond start

That stops Sendmail and Crond (or Active Monitor will start Sendmail again), 
removes the mqueue directory, re-creates it with the right UID, GID and 
permissions and then Sendmail and Crond are restarted.
