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.

If letting unchecked mail through is acceptable, you don't need
a content filter. It will be the fastest :)

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.
