timeout waiting for input from local during Draining Input

I have been getting this error and messages sitting in the queue as
'Sending' on a low traffic Sendmail 8.13.1 server. From searching for an
resolution, I found this may have something to do with locking and my
global /etc/procmailrc file that contains one recipe to copy any mail to
a certain domain to a mailbox...

:0 c
* ^TO_.*domain
* !^Received:.*localhost.*cab\;
/home/sites/mail.domain.com/users/cab/mbox

I did have the lock semicolon at the end of the first line and took it
off, but still happening...

waiting for input from local during Draining Input

This server also runs dovecot and I read one posting online about making
sure the lock method was equal to sendmail, fcntl. So, I updated my
/etc/dovecot.conf and restarted dovecot as well. When I stop dovecot,
all messages in the queue go out immediately and then this starts to
happen again after several minutes.

Can anyone suggest what is happening? Thanks in advance.
