Maybe you are right that this is the best solution but I don't want to
change the sendmail configuration for now ;)

Here I have a question . How can I found  the current "-j maxjobs", so I
can adjust (increase) it. From the dccm manual page I undestand that this
is a complex value but is there a way to find it ?

Here I think that F=, F=T, F=R are working if  filter is unavailable or
unresponsive only. If the milter returns return something  to sendmail,
sendmail still returns "temp failing commands"
