My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who heard Igor Roshchin say...
	How did you build your .cf file, using m4 with a .mc file, or the
hard way?  OperatorChars are things like @%! etc. used by sendmail to do
specific things.  If you are adding address rewriting rules, you may have
used one of these incorrectly, causing sendmail to think you are redefining
it.  The other errors seems to be coming from mail.local being unable to
lock the file in /var/mail.  Not sure why that would happen, maybe
permissions to that directory or file.  Hope this helps.
