Where's your other sendmail?  Why are you passing -q1m to your inbound
sendmail?

You should have two distinct sendmail startups.

An inbound one, which does queueonly, and does NOT have a -q parameter

/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -OPrivacyOptions=noetrn -ODeliveryMode=queueonly
-OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in


And a completely separate sendmail which does delivery

/usr/sbin/sendmail  -q1m

Note that the second sendmail does not use mqueue.in as it's queue
directory.. this is very important.
