I have these timeouts right now:

T=C:5m;S:1m;R:1m;E:5m

It is usually this:

Dec 27 19:44:26 mx sendmail[11422]: iBRGhQSD011422: Milter (mymilter):
timeout before data read

And yes, probably milter does too much. I need to check that. It usually takes
4 s to process a message but sometimes I see 30 s and more.
