4.2 sendmail problem

[art at acc.arpa]

We are seeing a problem with sendmail under 4.2.  If a relatively
large message is queued for LOTS of recipients, the message ends
up getting retransmitted.  It appears that sendmail gets part way
through the list, gets an error talking to someones SMTP, and dies
without updating the queue file (qf*) to delete the sites which
have been delivered to.  Sometime later sendmail starts over with
the same message and the cycle repeats.  I didn't see anything in
our copy of the Mt. Xinu buglist which appeared to relate.  Does
this bug sound familiar to anyone?  Anyone have a patch?
