    Right, that's what I thought too.  I used to be able to receive any size messages just fine prior to upgrading to 2.8 - now anything even remotely large seems to cause it to timeout.  I just send myself a 4K message, and it's stuck:

sendmail[25502]: g3S4NiP9025502: Milter (mimedefang): timeout before data read
sendmail[25502]: g3S4NiP9025502: Milter (mimedefang): to error state
sendmail[25502]: g3S4NiP9025502: Milter: data, reject=451 4.7.1 Please try again later
sendmail[25502]: g3S4NiP9025502: to=<ashley at pcraft.com>, delay=00:02:06, pri=30623, stat=Please try again later

    I'm about to revert back to pre-2.8 and see what that does.
