limit the number of qmail queue

[yiutin03]

Actually, I run the qmail on a only celeron pc. if over hundreds of mail come to my qmail, the qmail queue ran by the perl will make my pc hang for mins.

is there any possible configuration to limit the number of concurrent qmail queue?

or you have any suggestion beside upgrading the hardware?

Thanks alot

make fewer SMTP daemons available. Your server will appear busy from the outside.

Qmail is designed to be a high-volume email server. I don't think it has a function that tries to keep a control over how the system respondes with email in the queue.
