I am using queue_only_load. There is no such option queue_only_max,
that was a typo.

You're wrong. amavis-ng runs as a daemon and is invoked via milter
client from the system filter.

I don't want to be rude, but my company didn't pay Hilko to write
amavis-ng to ditch our own program in favor of the works of an
ex-colleague. Call that not-invented-here, but the decision for
amavis-ng was made way back when exiscan was still messing with the
queue files directly.

Please update your knowledge before dissing other people's software.
