If you're running tcpserver on the new main mail server, you can adjust
the number of concurrent qmail-smtpd processes that can be opened at any
one time. IIRC maildirsmtp uses qmail's normal remote delivery system,
so you can also set your concurrencyremote accordingly. Your machines and
network will determine what you can reasonably set this to without
burying the primary server.
We've had to do something similar to this in the past.
