* Delivery to programs that generate too much output may cause problems
(8.10, 8.11)
If e-mail is delivered to a program which generates too much
output, then sendmail may issue an error:
timeout waiting for input from local during Draining Input
Make sure that the program does not generate output beyond a
status message (corresponding to the exit status). This may
require a wrapper around the actual program to redirect output
to /dev/null.
Such a problem has been reported for bulk_mailer.

I'm getting this error in sendmail's syslog. I know it is a known bug in
sendmail. But I was wondering if anyone has a workaround.
error = timeout waiting for input from local during Draining Input
Thanks
Fab
