I am looking for this info, as I have the problem as well; however, I do not 
use any milters?  I have several servers that do this.

I see this on servers running both sendmail 8.12 and sendmail 8.13?

I run a script now and again

#!/bin/sh


cd /var/spool/mqueue.in/
find ./ -daystart -ctime +1|xargs rm
