Yes, it was definitely a theory based only on correlation.
I have nothing else but these facts We generate 300 CFMAIL requests every 2 minutes @ 1 thread: spool backs up, log fills with errors mentioned below. Possible corollary of some target accounts getting more that one message - seconds apart. @ 4 threads: spool is nicely flushed with 10~20 seconds to spare each time, no more errors. So I pulled that "locking" theory out of my ear (a better choice of 3-letter body part for a public group), and my persistent childish curiosity yearns for a more thoughtful one.
