If the incoming queue fills up, then you are receiving mail faster
than Postfix can deliver. To fix that, run more delivery agents
and increase the xxx_destination concurrency_limit where xxx is
the name of the delivery transport in master.cf (smtp, lmtp, local).
Or run fewer SMTP servers (but users might be unhappy when they can't
drop off their mail).

That is not an error. If it was, then Postfix would have said so.

When a large amount of mail is going to the same destination,
Postfix will defer some of that mail in order to give other mail
a chance. To disable, set "qmgr_site_hog_factor = 100".
