The /etc/daily is run with its output redirected into sendmail (so you the message you get is simply the output of the script). I'd bet that if you'll check your /var/log/maillog files you'll see that the message in question (i.e. CAA02204) is simply the /etc/daily message itself. It simply starts to get sent while it is still created. The warning is from the invocation of mailq as one of the last commands in /etc/daily, and note the asterisk near the ID of the message indicating that it is locked (since it is currently being sent).
