Sendmail Questions

Hello,

I don't know if you can help me or not ....... I can't seem to find
anything on the web with my problems.

We are running DEC UNIX V4.0B(564) and sendmail 1.1.8.2 (per the
sendmail.cf) as our Mail Queue to and from the Net.

At times of heavy mail transfers my sendmail processes grow to over 200 this
uses up all the CPU and the machine can't resolve with dns. This causes
bounces which compound the problems.

I have 2 Questions:

1. Is there a way to limit the number of sendmail process on this version of
DEC UNIX and sendmail ?

2. Is their a way to keep undeliverable messages from being generated on
undeliverable messages ? This causes us major headaches because it puts our
mail system in a infinite loop .....

Thanks

Steve
