According to the spec the following should ensure that there a not more
then 5 parallel deliveries at a time, iff your queue runners are started
by the daemon (and not by cron):
queue_run_max = 5
remote_max_parallel = 1
queue_smtp_domains = 1
Especially the queue_smtp_domains is important, otherwise each received
message will be delivered immediatly, even if there are already other
deliveries.
