Figuring out: Routers
Sending it out: Transports
You need more than just "it's left around"; the routing needs to have
happened, so that a given SMTP connection has a whole bunch of messages
which can go down, even if split up into one recipient each.
You want to ensure that Routing is done ahead of time; -odqs will do
this, or two-stage queueing with -qq (thanks Graeme for the reminder)
or using queue_smtp_domains.
Just using queue_only isn't sufficient, my mistake. The memory of
managing heavily loaded Exim is fading. :^/
