Even with more than 1024 file descriptors, you can't have concurrencyremote
go over 256 without patching qmail.
The limitation comes from the fact that qmail-send gets concurrencyremote
back from qmail-rspawn with a read() to a char. A char is 8 bit wide, so
the max number it holds is 255.
Of course, there are some solutions (several qmail instances, rewrite a
specialized qmail-send,...)
