I help out on a site where the daily .gz run between 10 and 20 Mb, meaning 
the uncompressed is between 100 and 200 Mb, and same on another site.

that shouldn't happen no matter what the level of the attack as long as 
there are SMTPD and STMP processes available to run, ie, not maxed out.

what's are these numbers for your machine:

mx1# ps aux | grep "smtpd -" | wc -l
       14
mx1# ps aux | grep "smtp -" | wc -l
       16

If they are 50 and 50, then that's maxed out if you haven't increased the 
maxes in master.cf.
