Bug#869666: SYSERR(root): timeout writing message to
We can confirm the same problem and that it was fixed by downgrading the
sendmail packages to 8.14.4-8+deb8u2. The problem's a bit tricky in that
the log message suggests that the destination server is at fault, where
it's really Sendmail trying to look up names in To: that aren't in the
envelope.
