It looks like you're using spamass-milter.  I tried it for a couple of 
weeks and had constant problems with it hanging up it's children.  This 
of course causes Sendmail to sit idle until it's timeouts for that 
milter are reached.

I gave up on it and ended up writing my own milter.  I suggest you look 
at using one of the many other milters available.  Or ask for help from 
the spamass-milter folks.
