How about looking at the deliver_queue_load_max option?

I managed to do that once :-). I had just brought my system up and
was trying to transfer the mails that had landed in my inbox at school
to my own machine. With ~900 messages arriving as fast as formail and
sendmail could transfer them my system load average neared 30. Oops.
After a couple of minutes spamd got through all the messages and the
load went down. (Then I realized I messed up the formail command and
hosed the messages. I started the process over again, but after
setting the load_max option.)
