It depends on your configuration. How are you sending this list to it?
Is is as one message with an alias, or as lots of different messages?
If the latter, perhaps you should inject them with "queue_only" (-odq)
so that each one doesn't try to spawn a delivery process.
If the former, it shouldn't be running more processes than the number
set in remote_max_parallel.
