OK, no need to get excited. So, have you tried stopping qmail-send
until the messages are injected?
I think you're seeing the combination of two problems: the first is
disk bandwidth on the queue partition, and the second is the
single-threaded nature of qmail-send: it can't simultaneously hand
messages off to qmail-remote and process new messages coming into the
queue. Run iostat on the queue disk to see how busy it is.

Do you have DiskSuite? If so, making the queue filesystem a Trans
device (logging) should help.

Wrong. The right answer is "European or African?" :-)
