Ok, so if -odb is a plus, wouldn't -odi be even better? With -odb you have to
wait until the hourly queue run before your mail is delivered. With -odi, the
mail is delivered immediately but uuxqt is held up until delivery is complete.
That solves your load average problem. It's the same technique normally used
by rnews, but sendmail takes only a tiny fraction of the time.
