Hi,

I have a situation at my mail server (latest Sendmail, MD+SA, cyrusv2 as a 
mailer) when mail gets queued and later rpcessed by MD miler. I bounce messages 
with SA points over 10. It works fine, when milter bounces it right away, but 
when message gets queued, then processed by MD+SA later, and scores over 10 
points, MD (or Sendmail, I'm not sure) trying to send a message with the text 
I've defined for action_bounce() function. And of course there is no real mail 
user and postmaster receives message from Mail Delivery Subsystem <MAILER-
DAEMON> with error like this:
<<< 550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable
550 5.1.1 <9zdq09cf8ck at hotmail.com>... User unknown
<<< 503 Need Rcpt command.
I don't know why message is queued, there is no load at my mail server at all.

Here is the related part of my sendmail log:

My concern is: can I configure sendmail (or MD) to process message through 
miler before it is queued? And can anybody explain why message is actually 
queued?

Best regards,
Dmitry
