Try using sendmail with the '-odq'option. That queues the message only
and won't send it until a normal queue run. Also there is a patch for
sendmail 8.6.x (in the contrib area fromthe misc tar file) that
replaced the standard load average based queing function with a
channel/connection based function. I have heard from a couple of sites
that have used that to an advantage.

Hmm, try tracking the full parent/child chain. I'll bet a sendmail
somewhere is stoping one of those perls from exiting. You could try
using the -odq mentioned above, or try running sendmail in the
background. You will have to change the perl code since you can't use
the shell to background the sendmail process.
