Your sendmail config is set to throttle (stop accepting connections) when
the load average peaks over a certain number.
Edit you sendmail.cf file (/etc/sendmail.cf was the default with
6.2). Look for a line like the following:
O RefuseLA=12
Increase the number (in this case 12), save the file, then do a restart of
the sendmail daemon. You might want to keep an eye on this; if the load
average is high and you increase it, you will just bog down the
machine. It may be that you will need an additional mail server to help
balance the load.
