Version of sendmail?  Entries for the filter in your sendmail.mc?

Looks like your system was too busy.  It could be a milter bug if you're 
running certain versions of sendmail, or it could just be that your machine 
is undersized for the load it had to carry at that time.


    Please don't CC me on anything sent to mailing lists or send
        me email directly unless it's a privacy issue, thanks.
