[Mimedefang] Truncated connections causing multiple resends onincoming mail

After digging some more about this I've found that I was incorrect; it
seems that everything works up to the point where the data has been
sent. 

I did some testing with a mail client and tried to send mail directly
through the mail server to a recipient; the mail client had no problem
uploading 100% of the data to the server, but at that point it just
waited for about two minutes before giving an error about how the mail
server wasn't responding. At the same time I see Clam scanning like mad
and the mail is being processed by MIMEDefang, but the mail client
apparently thinks something died and disconnects claiming the mail never
gets sent.

However, a minute or so later the mail arrives at the target inbox,
scanned by MIMEDefang. 

I've been going through Sendmail timeout settings and tweaking a bit
during the day but nothing I did affected the time period above. 

I'd really appreciate any ideas, far-fetched or not. Thanks.

What happens is that the process of receiving mail cuts out before the
mail is completely transferred, which causes the server talking with
mine to resend... and resend... and resend... and the recipient on my
end gets mail after mail. Essentially, the remote server sees this part
