Do I now need to change procmail? You need to start a queuerunner on that particular queuedirectory. Something like: sendmail -oQ/var/spool/mqueue -q (assuming that mqueue is in /var/spool). Try running this manually first and add the -v flag to see what's happening. After that you can either do queueruns from cron using the same command line or start another sendmail daemon (-bd -q15m) process.

Look at the the REFUSE_LA and QUEUE_LA (sendmail must have the correct LA_TYPE compiled in). Also look at the CONNECTION_RATE_THROTTLE and MAX_DAEMON_CHILDREN parameters. It may also help to pay attention to which host is resolving what.
