    This might not be mailman's doing.  This may be your MTA.  If it's too
busy spitting out messages, it'll refuse new connections till the load drops.
I know sendmail will stop receiving email if the system load gets too high.
It will also throttle itself if you have a high volume of messages going
through, and again, new messages will not be posted.
