You'd have to check your sendmail logs; probably, the messages are not
delivered and the sending relay gets a tempfail message.
You might want to have a cron job which cleans out the spool directory
periodically. Something like:
find /var/spool/MIMEDefang -maxdepth 1 -name 'mdefang-*-*' -type d -mtime +5
| xargs rm -rf
should do the trick. It will delete spool directories older than 5 days,
which should be safe.
