I run sendmail on a 7.3 box, mimedefang 2.33, sendmail 8.12.8, and it has
never had timeout issues from large file size. I handle 15 meg files
routinelly.
I turned off spam checking for authenticated and internally sent mail, as
some clients were suffering timeouts.
you can just swatch your log, and only restart mimedefang/sendmail when it
is suffering a timeout. My guess is something in your filter is taking a
long time to process the email.
