[Mimedefang] Getting rid of "Please try again later"

My Mimedefang relay has been crashing a lot lately, mostly due to the huge
load it's carrying.  I'm still trying to optimize it to make it a little
more stable but in the meantime I'd like this error to stop.

When Mimedefang just straight out quits responding every message that gets
received gets replied with "Mail Server Busy. Please Try Again Later"

I would prefer Sendmail not answer at all so the mail sits in the Other
mail servers queue instead of bouncing back a message without a real error
code.

Any ideas?  Also, I can't find any docs on command line options for
MimeDefang.  Is there anyway to limit the max clients?  Cause when a surge
of mail comes in (every reboot :P) it spawns about 6 or 7 then runs out of
resources and dies.

Any advice?

Thanks,
Josh
