Read through 'man mimedefang-multiplexor' and your init script.  If you
use the generic one, it came from examples/init-script under MD's source,
if you use the Red Hat one it came from redhat/mimedefang-init.

If you use the generic init script and want to allow up to 40 mimedefang
slaves to run at once by mimedefang-multiplexor, you could add a line
like this:

MX_MAXIMUM=40

to /etc/mail/mimedefang.conf and then restart MD.  MX_MAXIMUM in the init
script handles the multiplexor's -x option.  Also check out the -q and -Q
options, they handle a queue of requests that go above the -x number.
