"savemail: cannot save rejected email anywhere" on recent 4.9-STABLE

This server is running 4.9-STABLE built from new sources on Jan 24, 2004, and upgraded 
(via 4.6-RELEASE and 4.8-RELEASE) from 4.3-RELEASE.

This is a very busy busy mail server and in my /var/log/messages I'm seeing lots of 
messages like:

Jan 29 08:03:48 ns2 sm-mta[91987]: i0TE3TnC091987: SYSERR(root): savemail: cannot save 
rejected email anywhere

Does this mean that sendmail can't put mail in /var/spool/mqueque?

I've compared mail settings on this server to a new server running 4.9-STABLE and I can't 
see any differences in the permissions on the files I've looked at.   I'm using the 
default setting from /etc/defaults/rc.conf and simply have sendmail_enable="YES" in 
/etc/rc.conf

I've looked on google, but none of the results I looked at helped.

Any suggestions on where to look?  Anymore info from me that would help?

Thanks
