Looks like it's related to sending email from a CGI. Do you have a 
user trying to do that??

http://www.soldierx.com/books/networking/sendmail/ch23_02.htm provides 
more insight into the sendmail process. 
http://www.soldierx.com/books/networking/sendmail/ch23_02.htm#SML2-CH-23-SECT-2-7 
deals with the transcript file specifically (temp collection of error 
messages created during an attempted message send), named 
/var/spool/mqueue/xf* (or, on the Cobalts, /home/spool/mqueue/xf*). 
So I'm guessing either a directory with bad permissions, or the 
mail-sending CGI doesn't have permission somehow...
