On RedHat Linux ES 3, I've installed sendmail 8.12.11 from source and 
Cyrus IMAPD 2.2.3-8 from srpm.  I've configured sendmail to use 
lmtpunix.  When sendmail tries to deliver mail, both lmtpunix and 
sendmail emit "File exists" errors, as below.  I'm new to Cyrus IMAPD, 
so any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
