Thanks to Mathias Koerber, Chander Ganevan and Todd Acheson. They all
suggested to edit the sendmail.cf and increase the load average that I
want sendmail to start rejecting connections.
Here's the mail from Chander Genevan:
sendmail will start rejecting connections once the load average
gets above a certain amount, but that is a user-configurable option. You
might look into it... The option is 'X' so you would need to look for a
line starting with 'OX<##>' where '<##>' is the load average that you want
sendmail to start rejecting connections at (select something arbitrarily
high, like:
OX99
and it should take care of the problem) .
Regards,
Armand
