Package: sendmail
Version: 8.13.3-6

After a dist-upgrade (testing) some week ago I noticed that mail
delivered by fetchmail didn't arrive in my mailbox until after about
10 minutes. Prior, everything had been working perfectly.

The mail was locally queued (as shown by "sendmail -bp").

I have a setup which uses sendmail/fetchmail/procmail. Fetchmail polls
my POP3 account, deliveres to sendmail which calls procmail via
.forward. I noticed that disabling procmail by removing .forward seemed
to solve the problem. My .forward reads: 

  "| exec /usr/bin/procmail || exit 75#johan"

With procmail enabled, local mail was sometimes (but not
always) queued, as well. If I used "mail" it was delivered
immediately, sending via mutt caused the mail to be queued.
Outbound mail was always delivered to my ISPs SMPT-server, at once.

I don't have a clue about what was going on, but a downgrade of
sendmail to stable (8.12.3-7.1) made the problem go away (still using
the same setup, with same versions of procmail (3.22-11) and
fetchmail (6.2.5-12)). 


Hope this might be to some help.
