This likely means that the milter has died.  If you can get a coredump,
a gdb stack trace would be useful.  Also upgrading to a newer sendmail
(8.12.9 is the latest) couldn't hurt.

Hm.  With the above filter rule, if the milter if down, mail should get
passed through automatically.  The F flag says what to do if the milter
cannot be reached.  F= means let it through.  F=R means reject, F=T
means return tempfail.
