[Mimedefang] stream_by_recipient takes too long

Stream_by_recipient forces the system to resend messages entirely, so they get
submitted to the local queue again, as your log entries show:

> Mar 24 11:33:28 alpha sendmail[30044]: i2O9XSum030044: 
> to=<priviliged at domain.com>, delay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, 
> pri=40723, dsn=4.4.3, stat=queued

> Mar 24 11:33:30 alpha mimedefang.pl[30018]: i2O9XRJM030040: 
> streamed by domain or recipient and resent.

My suspicion is that your client mail queue is only being processed once an
hour, or longer.  Check the local queue using
			mailq -Ac
and then force it to run using 
			sendmail -Ac -q -v
and watch the queue clear.

If this is the case, change the interval for your submission queue in the
Sendmail startup script (usually /etc/init.d/sendmail) by editing the line which
starts the sm-msp part of sendmail as below:
			/usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q1&

Best Wishes,

Paul.
