The problem you describe is that the amount of incoming email overwhelms the
server.

Having read some of the responses, I see that any form of limiting at the
ISP would not meet your requirements. So to prevent the server from being
overwhelmed you will have to reduce the rate of arrival of email traffic.
Can you do this in the router?

Alternatively you could increase the power of the server so it can cope with
the workload delivered by the 8192kbits/sec ADSL service.

Is there a possibility that you are being explicitly targeted? Are you
running a business which might attract guerilla action?

If you increase the amount of RAM you might improve the performance of the
concurrent connections. Possibly you could then allow sendmail to have
more of them.

In any server, performance improvements are often made by increasing the
RAM. Increasing it to 4Gb is probably easily affordable.
