Doing some more testing, I commented out the 
"send_quarantine_notifications()" and now I don't get the errors in my 
maillog. So, to me it looks like MD is trying to send the notifications 
but something else is preventing it. I do have sendmail and a queue 
runner running. Could it be that my version of Perl is too old 
(5.00503-10 on RH 6.2, sendmail-8.12.7)?
