Are you sure the bandwidth is maxed out? Normally sending large volumes = of email won't saturate bandwidth (even a 10Mbit network) before = saturating disk IO.
It doesn't answer the question, but the issue might lie elsewhere...

In that case, unless you have a 10Mb connection to the internet, www traffic can't be so heavy to slow smtp traffic. The performance problem with smtp may be in the usage of the internet connection, so you may want to limit bandwith assigned to www using your http proxy.
