Sounds like you could benefit from using Russ Nelson's big-todo patch.
See:
http://www.qmail.org/big-todo.103.patch
According to Russ:
conf-split needs to be bigger if you have more than 23K distinct
messages (not addresses) in the queue. big-todo is needed if you're
injecting messages faster than qmail-send can process them.
Looks like you fall into both categories. As Dave Sill suggested, you'd
probably be better off building qmail from source using his instructions at:
http://Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html#installation
Just before doing "2.5.5. Do the build" apply Russ' patch and edit conf-split
changing 23 to 231.
I'd suggest only using rpms once you're comfortable with how qmail works, and
you understand what the rpm author has done is his (or her I suppose :) SPEC
file.
