George,
if memory serves correct, sendmail will cease to process the queue once
the load average reaches 8, and will stop accepting SMTP connects at a LA
of 12.
If you need to change the load points of the queue and the connects, add
the following to your sendmail.cf: (assuming you have 8.7 or higher)
O QueueLA=<load>
O RefuseLA=<load>
* replace <load> with an integer value for the load average.
That said, I'd suggest you try and reduce the load on your machine before
adding to it with the sendmail proc's ...
Cheers,

Hi all,
I just had to stop my sendmail and restart it and it now complains that the
queue load average is too big and I can't get it to work again..
runqueue: Skipping queue run -- load average too high
I tied nuking anything in the /var/spool/mqueue/* since they were dodgy
bounces anyway and it didn't help.
Any ideas? ASAP would be greatly appreciated..
thanks,
George Vieira
