sounds like a permissions error on /var/spool/MailScanner
or /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming
I use postfix and the user must be able to write to those directories
(in your case, whatever user sendmail runs as...something like smmsp)...
# ls -l /var/spool/MailScanner/
total 8
drwx------ 7 postfix root 4096 Jun 21 09:18 incoming
drwx------ 4 postfix postfix 4096 Jun 14 10:23 quarantine
Your questions might be better directed to MailScanner list
