Here, documented sparsely <wry grin>, are some changes we recently made
to a client's Cobalt Raq3i:

# load average at which we just queue messages
# 08/20/00 original line commented out below - jl
# O QueueLA=15
# 08/20/00 new line added - jl
O QueueLA=25

# load average at which we refuse connections
# 08/20/00 original line commented out below - jl
# O RefuseLA=20
# 08/20/00 new line added - jl
O RefuseLA=40

# maximum number of children we allow at one time
# 08/20/00 original line commented out below - jl
# O MaxDaemonChildren=12
# 08/20/00 new line added - jl
O MaxDaemonChildren=24

Note that the first line in each block is in your generic sendmail.cf
file; you can search for it to find out where to make the changes.  Note
that the changed sections follow in order in a standard Cobalt RaQ
sendmail.cf file.  Note also that "jl" are my initials; you should put
in your own date and initials.

With these changes the server stops a lot less often than it used to,
though it still stops occasionally.
