 I asked this question earlier, but I think it got lost in other parts of the
 discussion and never got answered: Regarding the above error messages...
 which milter timeout value (C,S,R, or E) effects the 'timeout before data
 read' error? That is, which ones should be increased to eliminate this
 error?

Jon,
  I don't recall seeing an answer to this posted, so here goes a try.
The timeout before data read appears to be controlled by the R setting; in
sendmail/milter.c that error appears in the function milter_read().  The fourth
argument to that function is to (timeout).  Everywhere that milter_read is
called in milter.c the fourth argument is m-mf_timeout[SMFTO_READ] which is
parsed from the R option (line 1360 of milter.c, sendmail 8.12.10).
  However, remember that you might also be bumping into the E setting, which
is the overall timeout.
  Hopefully you have already solved your problem, but just in case you were
still waiting, I hope this helps.
  I've had good luck with the settings below for another email scanner (Sopho's
PureMessage) - even messages that are too large for email (IMO) make it
through.
  Cheers.
