One thing I don't understand here (for the case someone sets ${sendmail_enable} to NO): Both, ${sendmail_outbound_enable} and ${sendmail_submit_enable} are on by default. ${sendmail_outbound_flags} ist set to: "-L sm-queue -q30m" so the (var/spool/mqueue) queue is run regularly. Additionally, ${sendmail_submit_flags} is set to: "-L sm-mta-submit -bd -q30m -ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=localhost" Wouldn't the latter one be enough to run the queue because of the -q30m?
