[Mimedefang] Server crashes

[Geoff Varosky]

probably couldn't hurt for the system to split up the mail queue into
some directories, less load to deal with at one time per queue
runner...

for instance, we use:

/var/spool/mqueue/00 - /var/spool/mqueue/09 and /var/spool/mqueue/0a -
/var/spool/mqueue/0f

Which can be referenced in sendmail via:
O QueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue/0*
