Every time MS checks the incoming queue it tries to get as much messages
as possible in the batch to scan. With the configured maximum of course.
The reason you sometime see "100 waiting, 1 scanning" is because the
other 99 are locked. Either by sendmail not having received the complete
message yet. Or other MS children are already scanning those messages.
