Do a grep -i "New Batch" on your maillog. I will show sets of two lines.
One line telling you how much messages MS thinks is in the queue and how
much he is going to process.

You can also use /usr/sbin/sendmail
- -QQueuedirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in a few times to see whether the
files you find in your mqueue.in are actual complete df/qf pairs or
reminants of dropped connections.
