When sending mail, even mail to someone on the same host, I always
get "dbm: no open database".  It says that just after typing
"mail jeffo" (when I mail myself as a test).

What causes this and how can I fix this?

Also, could this have anything to do with Mail.app not working as it
should or sendmail holding up all the mail in the mqueue dir (it is
saying stat=Skipped in the syslog a *lot* and coming up with
stat=unknown mailer error 1 a lot).

Thanks.
