        I am on 2.6 with sendmail 8.8.8. What is the variable to put in the
sendmail.cf that governs when the system is busy and queues or does not
accept connections? I remember from old versions that it was a hex value.
        Does anyone know what the hex value relates to? Is it the hex of
the uptime load figure?

Many people responded with the following info:
  
        O QueueLA=load Anything above load will be queued.
        O RefuseLA=load Anything above load will not be accepted.

load = value reported by uptime

The sendmail.cf for 8.8.8 has these values commented out. Uncomment and
change them and them restart sendmail. The space after the O is mandatory.
Be careful on systems that generate or receive tons of mail. Increasing
these params could degrade system performance. thanks to all.
