7000 is a big queue, less so if you have split_spool_directory set. You
could try something like:
Submit 100 with -odq; start a queue runner; wait a bit; repeat
The length of "a bit" probably depends on how quickly the messages can
be delivered. If it's fast, one minute might be fine. You could make it
dynamic: wait till queue size has gone down by, say, 90.
