Milter-greylist

No! That was an easy answer :) To give you an idea, the milter processes mail 
faster than sendmail itself does. Odds are your sendmail might be doing 
something silly like RBLs or additional miltering. We process on one box 
about 1million emails a day with no limit to the max number of children. The 
milter maxes out at 250ish children (sometimes it gets into an issue where it 
runs out of children), but we count only a few dozen messages that bypass the 
milter. This is on a heavily loaded box to boot. If sendmail is doing 
anything other than basic procmail delivery and greylisting, its likely that 
is your problem, due to poor or misconfiguration. I have never ever ever had 
memory or load issues due to the milter. If anything, we have seen a marked 
decrease in load, since less mail is being delivered via complex procmail 
rules we have set up.
