Qmail internally stores the concurrency limit in an object of type
char. If you tried to specify a limit higher than 256, it would
overflow and give you a concurrency limit *lower* than what you asked
for.
Is there a compelling technical reason why qmail shouldn't support
more concurrent delivery processes, or is this just the result of
short-sighted design considerations?
