Slow mail delivery for few mails

[Jeremy McSpadden]

http://www.sendmail.org/ftp/KNOWNBUGS


Delivery to programs that generate too much output may cause problems

  If e-mail is delivered to a program which generates too much
  output, then sendmail may issue an error:

  timeout waiting for input from local during Draining Input

  Make sure that the program does not generate output beyond a
  status message (corresponding to the exit status).  This may
  require a wrapper around the actual program to redirect output
  to /dev/null.

  Such a problem has been reported for bulk_mailer.

have you tried all the optimization settings in the MAQ?
do you have enough memory? Mailscanner should have 1 gb per processor to run well
