I believe it defaults to 12. # load average at which we refuse connections O RefuseLA=12 If your system is running an older version of sendmail, set `X' to a higher value in /etc/sendmail.cf and HUP sendmail. # load average at which we refuse connections OX12 If you want to disable the load average checking (not that I am recommending it), try #define LA_TYPE LA_ZERO in the appropriate section (BSD 4.4) of /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/src/conf.h, then build and install the new version. -- Regards, Norman C.
