Sendmail configuration question

["A.Sajjad Zaidi" <sajjad@example.com>]

Hi everyone,

This question goes to all you sendmail gurus. If you can get through the
first ten lines of sendmail.cf without passing out, i consider you a
guru, so there should be plenty out there.

By default sendmail forks for every message and if hundreds or thousands
of messages need to be sent out at the same time, this causes the system
to run out of resources.

I heard from somewhere that queing needs to be turned on to handle this,
but looks like it is already on. Any tips on how to optimize this? I
started looking at the config file, but didnt get past the V.

And its very inconvenient to switch to another mailer at this point, so
no use recommending qmail, exim etc.

Thanks,
