Am having a few resource problems with my server.  It works great when I get
1-2 messages at a time.  But I have SpamAssassin running a system-wide
daemon, so all mail gets sent through this (via spamc with spamd running).
Today I got 10-12 messages at once and the system grinded to a halt swapping
to disk.  I was wondering if there was a limit I could set to only allow
courier to process X many messages in parallel (if that's what it's doing).

Specifically, fetchmail checks a couple external POP3 servers, then forwards
to courier's esmtpd, which then sends to spamassassin
via /etc/courier/maildroprc.  A "ps -A" lists one spamc and one spamd process
for each message, and it consumes A LOT of memory.  Even with 128MB it's a
hog.  I'm satisfied with processing messages 1-2 at a time if I can prevent
the whole system from swapping.

Thanks!
