I actually don't care about the number of SMTP processes all that much. The point of
what I am trying to accomplish is limit the number of Declude processes to 10 (for
example), without running the risk of having long delays due to emails entering
Imail's queue.
Currently, if I sent MaxQueProc to 10, I run that risk.
But if I could set Declude to a max of 10 processes and Imail to a max of 30, the
chance of having those long queue delays occuring is minimized.

That does indeed sound like what happened.

I'm still not sure that it would make a noticeable difference. For
example, if there was a maximum of 10 Declude processes and a maximum of 30
SMTP processes, you would still end up with no more than 10 SMTP processes
most of the time (since the SMTP process would normally finish in a bit
less time than Declude JunkMail).
