You should consider your mail configuration and restrict the number
of child processes which can be spawned to handle queued mail (aka
"queue runners"):
# limit on number of concurrent queue runners
#O MaxQueueChildren
You might also find it helpful to set up additional queue groups, or
switch to queued or deferred delivery mode. (Or you might switch to
something like Postfix which lets you control the degree of
parallelism for the various parts of the email system more easily
than sendmail allows you to...)
