Does the above mean that you have figured out a solution? If not (and
if you are on VPS2), you might try the ratecontrol and conncontrol
features. It is entirely possible that neither of these will work
correctly for address 127.0.0.1

The idea is that the main MTA (which uses sendmail.cf--as opposed to
the submit.cf) would limit the rate at which connections from
localhost (127.0.0.1) can be initiated between the submission daemon
and the main MTA. One source of information for these features is:

ratecontrol: http://technoids.org/dossed.html#1.1.
conncontrol: http://technoids.org/dossed.html#2.

WARNING!!! I have not tried this myself!! If you limit rates and
connections on localhost, it could very well have a negative effect on
a general-purpose mail server!!! DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! (Watch your
maillog *very* carefully after you implement the above, and be
prepared to roll back your sendmail.cf and restart sendmail if
necessary!)

Good luck!
