Local delivery + Mailscanner

I've recently setup a configuration using Mailscanner + sendmail +
procmail and dovecot (imap), everything is running on the same server.

After a mail is scanned by mailscanner it's a huge delay for it to be
delivered (local deliver).

delay=00:01:27 ?!

It seems mailscanner can't deliver directly after scaning and that
leaves it up to sendmails queue-runner to finally deliver it, which
default might be 0-15 minutes.

I'm using the default dirs for mqueue in mailscanner and nothing special
in my sendmail.mc.

The /etc/procmailrc :

MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR

I'm using MS 4.56.8 and sendmail 8.13.1.

If I run sendmail alone without Mailscanner the mail is delivered
instantly.


Regards,
Johan
