I'll second that. I run a mailing list with around 50 subscribers, and it regularly jams up. I thought at first smail was doing it wrong, so tried sendmail, but when the problem persisted I realised that pretty well every time it jams the connection to one site in particular was stuck in SYN_SENT. The only way to free it is to nuke sendmail and start it again.
This is with 2.1.94 and various previous versions.
I'll try the patch posted by Andi Kleen on the latest kernel and see what happens.
