This line will bite you...  you should delete it...
/etc/init.d/sendmail expects the pidfile to be in /var/run/sendmail -
the exact name/location varies by release....

This can allow big messages to delay the sending of short, higher
priority ones, on the otherhand, it removes the need to read each

Why on earth...  Reduce your interval to something more reasonable,
and let the queue managers handle deliveries (you can define the
max runners per queue).
