Not load, but more smtpd processes waiting for a polw reply.

Useful yes, required, not really.

You can delete it (with the latest version).

This is the job of $NTTL and $NTIME in concert
$NTTL (default: 1)
The client is penalized for that many retries.
$NTIME (default: 30)
The $NTTL counter will only be decremented if the client waits
at least $NTIME seconds.
