[Troy R. LeBouef]

How is the utilization on the hard disk. I had the same problems and
stopped quarantining most of the stuff. Also I have two servers load
balanced mx wise that is.

Use sendmail to limit resource consumption.  You can configure sendmail

limit the number of active SMTP connections, and you can also configure
sendmail to begin refusing connections if the load (as reported by
'uptime')
exceeds a certain value.
