Koen,

I notice a couple of things:

/var/log/maillog:Sep 20 17:57:56 mail sendmail[811]: j8KFAQdB000811: Milter
(milter-ahead): write(D) returned -1, expected 45: Broken pipe

Milter-ahead is failing. This is not stopping your mail but you shoud try to
restart milter-ahead or possible update to the latest version is the problem
persists.

These mails are not being delivered because"Connection refused by
outmx024.isp.belgacom.be" This is normal and they will sit in the queue for
5 days if you have a normal sendmail configuration.

Hope this helps,

Steve
