The milter is failing the message:

to=harry at fh-aachen.de, delay=00:03:00, pri=30057, stat=Please try again
later (TEMPFAIL)
But only slow mailer (with long data phase), have this problem:
(to=harry at fh-aachen.de, delay=00:03:00 [from my test-script])
The debug output for this message:

The sendmail configuration:
Xrelaydelay, S=local:/etc/mail/milter/relaydelay.sock, T=R:60s;S:30s
A improvement come's with this workarround,
we changed the relaydelay.conf from:
$tempfail_messages_after_data_phase = 1;
to
$tempfail_messages_after_data_phase = 0;
Now it works better, only 10 percent from the slow messages will
tempfail, it were 50 percent before.
