Sendmail delaying mails for 45 mins

Hi,

I'm trying to send out mails from my server using mailx, however everytime I send one, it appears to be held in the /var/spool/mqueue for 44 mins before being sent.

I'm quite new to sendmail, so don't really know where to start with this /var/log/syslog displays the following:

Code:
Dec 16 17:00:59 client01 sendmail[24805]: [ID 702911 mail.info] STARTTLS=client, relay=mailhost, version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=FAIL, cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits=256/256
Dec 16 17:00:59 client01 sendmail[24805]: [ID 801593 mail.info] rBGGG2MP024799: to=<xplus@mycompany.com>, delay=00:44:57, xdelay=00:44:57, mailer=esmtp, pri=124456, relay=mailhost [10.58.1.56], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (Ok: queued as C47E042434F)
Dec 16 17:01:00 client01 sendmail[24898]: [ID 702911 mail.info] STARTTLS=client, relay=mailhost, version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=FAIL, cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits=256/256
Dec 16 17:01:00 client01 sendmail[24898]: [ID 801593 mail.info] rBGGG2H7024896: to=<xplus@mycompany.com>, delay=00:44:58, xdelay=00:44:57, mailer=esmtp, pri=123116, relay=mailhost [10.58.1.56], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (Ok: queued as 4D6E542434F)
Dec 16 17:01:00 client01 sendmail[24900]: [ID 702911 mail.info] STARTTLS=client, relay=mailhost, version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=FAIL, cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits=256/256
Dec 16 17:01:00 client01 sendmail[24900]: [ID 801593 mail.info] rBGGG2H9024896: to=<xplus@mycompany.com>, delay=00:44:57, xdelay=00:44:57, mailer=esmtp, pri=124457, relay=mailhost [10.58.1.56], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (Ok: queued as 67EE8424351)

Any ideas on where to start? I've tried looking at sendmail.cf for any default queue options, but it might as well be written in klingon, I can't make head nor tail of the output!

NAME
mlmmj-send - send mail to a mailinglist or similar SYNOPSIS
mlmmj-send [-L /path/to/list | -l listctrl] -m /path/to/mail [-a] [-D] [-F] [-h] [-o] [-r] [-R] [-s] [-T] [-V] -a: Don't archive the mail -D: Don't delete the mail after it's sent -F: What to use as MAIL FROM: -h: This help -l: List control variable. -L: Full path to list directory -m: Full path to mail file -o: Address to omit from distribution (normal mail only) -r: Relayhost IP address (defaults to 127.0.0.1) -R: What to use as Reply-To: header -s: Subscribers file name -T: What to use as RCPT TO: -V: Print version DESCRIPTION
This binary is used to send all kinds of mail to mlmmj managed mailinglists, but can potentially be used standalone for sending mails. The only option that is not self explanatory is the -l list control option: '1' means 'send a single mail' This is used together with -F and -T to send one mail to one recipient. '2' means 'mail to moderators' Used for sending mails to the moderators of a list. '3' means 'resend failed list mail' '4' means 'send to file with recipients' '5' means 'bounceprobe' '6' means 'single listmail to single recipient' BUGS
This manual page is very scarce documentation of the mlmmj-send binary. The reason for this is that it's really not supposed to be used by any human, but only supposed to be invoked from other mlmmj binaries. So in case more documentation is needed, please read the source. AUTHORS
This manual page was written by the following persons: Soren Boll Overgaard <boll@debian.org> (based on html2man output) Mads Martin Jorgensen <mmj@mmj.dk> mlmmj-send January 2010 mlmmj-send(1)
