That's 60s.

---------------------------------
5) Add the following line to your Sendmail "m4" configuration file.
   (You DO use the m4 configuration method, right?)

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang',`S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock,F=T,T=S:360s;R:360s;E:15m')

(If you keep your spool directory elsewhere, use its location instead
of /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock)

The "T=..." equate increases the default timeouts for milter, which
are way too small.
---------------------------------

Older versions of mimedefang used to suggest timeout of 60s, and it
seems your sendmail is configured that old way. Just increase those
'60s' to '360s' (or whatever) and try again.
