e-mail is slow

The problem is between 2:00 and 5:00 PM.

The email (procmail) proccess load up big time. If I do a prstat at 8:00 AM
I have about 100 proccess and 30 mails in mailq.

Now at 3:50 PM, I have over 1000 proccess from prstat and 600 e-mail in mailq.

Some mail takes 2 hours to get out or in.

What can I do to fix this?
