>Description:
Sendmail, by default, enables options to queue or stop accepting email based on CPU load. In practice, this can be problematic, as it is possible to have mail queued but never dequeued with a reasonably low (but non-zero) CPU load due to assignment of a large priority number. Under other circumstances, e.g., on some CPU's, it simply does not work well.
This patch enables it to be turned off in make.conf.
>How-To-Repeat:
Have trouble with sendmail's load average system behaving itself.
