In case anyone ever runs into this, I finally figured it out. Mail programs are considered expensive and by default sendmail has HoldExpensive set to true. So I added this to my sendmail.mc file and re-compiled. Messages are now delivered instantly.

define(`confCON_EXPENSIVE',false)

I use sendmail and mailman and sophos puremessage for unix.  When

When an email is sent to a mailman list the message is ending up in
the sendmail mailq and not being sent until the queue is re-
processed.  Please direct me as to what log information would be
helpful in troubleshooting this.
