We ran into a similar problem. Here's the solution i found yesterday: check
the file permissions under /usr/spool/mmdf/lock. Here's what they should be:
700 /usr/spool/mmdf/lock/
777 /usr/spool/mmdf/lock/home/
777 /usr/spool/mmdf/lock/home/tmp/
777 /usr/spool/mmdf/lock/home/addr/
777 /usr/spool/mmdf/lock/home/q.*/
777 /usr/spool/mmdf/lock/home/msg/
This information is hidden in the User's Reference manual under QUEUE(F).
The directories under /usr/spool/mmdf/lock were also set to 700, possibly
by default when we installed the SCO UNIX 3.2 system. I hope this helps --
no guarantee we had the same problem, but we did have the same symptom.
