/usr/share/doc/exim/spec.txt.gz
I no longer have the version 3 spec, but from the version 4 spec :
deliver_queue_load_max Type: fixed-point Default: unset
When this option is set, a queue run is abandoned if the system load
average becomes greater than the value of the option. The option has no
effect on ancient operating systems on which Exim cannot determine the
load average. See also "queue_only_load" and "smtp_load_reserve".
(hmm, yeah, I remember now that the exact name of this option
changed between the releases; look for something similarly named that
talks about the system's load average)
