Chris,

  Yes, have the AV-SPAM package on both boxes, but that particular error I
believe is the saslauthd process not restarting after end-of-day processes
(part of my same sendmail problem)

If I restart the saslauthd process, my users report that mail starts working
again and I no longer see these messages.  I also see messages on auth fail
for sendmail scattered between the no MAIL/EXPN messages.  I have been just
restarting both sendmail and saslauthd and it seems to fix things (while I
was out the techs were just rebooting the boxes which also "fixes" it).
