Changing Sendmail's Load Average handling

By default, sendmail will begin queuing mail rather than sending it out at 12 load average, and stop refusing connections at 18 load average. These options can be changed in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc with the following variables:

define(`confQUEUE_LA', `12')dnl
define(`confREFUSE_LA', `18')dnl
