Yes. However, with those specific numbers you're in trouble because it's highly unlikely all 400 of the queued connections will be handled in a timely manner. Most likely, the senders will time out first. The -q option is meant to be used only to slightly increase the peak message counts that MIMEDefang can handle in the face of occasional load spikes. Having a -q more than about 10% of your max slave count, or more than about 40 in absolute terms, is likely to be counter-productive.
