I increased that value because I thought that sending more mails in parallel
will increase the postfix mail queue delivery....

Running two separated instance of postfix could be the solution has I have
two ips on my server. But I have honestly no idea on how to set that up....

Should I apply does settings on the postfix instance dedicated to newsletter
sending? Or should I apply those to my main postfix server?

Thanks guys.
