I more than one instance, the error messages says, "Out of disk space for temp file". Sounds like time to cleanup your disks, have you done a df lately? The quit timeouts may be due to network problems OR with that many sendmails running you might just be thrashing yourself to death. Try cleaning up the disks. THEN if you still have problems check paging (vmstat) and your config.
