Your recommendation is MAXATONCE O allows unlimited processes to run at the same time.
Correct.
Setting the switch to 8 or 10 will make SMTP hangs or become slower?
It is unlikely to make much of a difference, because [1] SMTP hangs should not be related to the resources used by the virus scanner, and [2] it is unlikely that you will have 8-10 virus scanners processes running at the same time.
The MAXATONCE option was originally designed for people who have licensing arrangements where they can only have a certain number of copies of the virus scanner running simultaneously.
Is you recommendation to set it to unlimited?
Yes.
SMTP is now very slow after applying MSFT patches (apr 14). Sometimes smtp service just hangs.
For some reason, some servers have a horrible time handling too many 16-bit processes, and end up causing serious delays in TCP/IP connections like you describe.
Are you using a 16-bit virus scanner (such as F-Prot.exe) with Declude Virus? If so, I would recommend switching to a 32-bit scanner (such as F-Prot's fpcmd.exe), which will likely help alleviate the problem.
