It's not hard to fix, just tedious and I don't want to spend the time on it. I'll take contributions of course. Be aware that in 2.1 DELIVERY_MODULE will probably not be part of the mainline message pipeline.
Second, someone posted patches to Python's smtplib.py so that the same interface can be used to "sendmail -bs" (i.e. sendmail run from the command line with SMTP commands on standard input). I don't remember who or where that was posted, but it's worth searching for and proofreading. Or if the original author is reading this, resend me the url and I'll see about getting it into Python 2.1.
Does sendmail do the same synchronous DNS lookups when used in -bs mode?
