What I really want is to be able to limit the number of simultaneous delivery threads to one. I don't mind enqueueing messages while waiting for delivery, as in the long-term the server can always keep up with the incoming mail flow. However I would like to prevent more than one message from being processed by maildrop at the same time, as this results in an unnecessary burden on my wimpy server.

In modules.local set 'MAXDELS=1'

Boy, that was easy! Thank you.

I know what happens when that setting is to high :-)

Even knowing this, I didn't see anywhere in courierwebadmin to set this. I would now expect it in the "Local mail delivery" section. Is it somewhere hidden where I am not finding it, or would it be reasonable to add it?

I don't use the webadmin, so I cannot comment on that. I did have to use Google to find this, the documentation was no great help here. Contrary to some peoples comments, I find the documentation to be not more than adequate, this is another example. That said, most software documentation is much worse.

I'm not to sure this should go in the webadmin interface. There are so many knobs to fiddle, either put them all in or just put in the most often used ones.
