The Q Configuration Command
You can define queue groups using the Q configuration command, which
specifies the name of the queue group and a sequence of equates.
Following is the syntax for the Q command:
Qgroupname, equates
You must not insert a space between Q and the groupname. You can
optionally specify the equates, but if they are present they must follow
the name of the queue group and they must be separated with a comma
or whitespace, or both.
The equates are formed by selecting one of the keywords shown in the
first column in Table 3-3, and by following the keyword with an equal
sign and the value you wish to assign to that key letter. Sendmail reads
only the first letter. Therefore, you can use the shorthand shown in
parenthesis in Table 3-3. The first letter is case sensitive, that is, R and r
are different.
Interval= (I=) -qInterval Specifies interval between
queue runs.

recipients per envelope.

processors per queue group.
