Don't know where your 10 seconds came from, it seems like your settings were ignored. Manual claims: The timeouts can be set using the four fields inside of the T= equate: C Timeout for connecting to a filter. If set to 0, the system's connect() timeout will be used. S Timeout for sending information from the MTA to a filter. R Timeout for reading reply from the filter. E Overall timeout between sending end-of-message to filter and waiting for the final acknowledgment. Note the separator between each timeout field is a ';'. The default values (if not set) are: T=C:5m;S:10s;R:10s;E:5m where s is seconds and m is minutes. > There wasn't anything defined. I'll add F=T now to have a look.

Perhaps sendmail decided to let through the message on milter failure, but later changed its mind and kept it in the queue for a retry. Just guessing, no better ideas.
