It's ben pointed out to me that my mail through master is also bouncing
at times. I also have an IPv6 MX, so it could be related. However,
another datapoint (and relevant to the above):

That's on master. I've been watching it for about 5 minutes, and never
saw the load drop below 3.80-ish.
Could it be that master is simply imploding on the amount of mail
received?
