The Manual states in Chapter 43 that exim will sent out waiting e-mail for
a host after the first e-mail went trough. You might want to correct that.
Please mention this fact in the Limitations. That is a big argument
against exim. I need to look for another mailer for the linux mailing
lists.
Chapter 43 contains the following paragraph:
When a message is successfully delivered over a TCP/IP SMTP connection,
Exim looks in the wait-smtp database to see if there are any queued
messages waiting for the host to which it is connected. If it finds one,
it creates a new process using the -MC option (which can only be used by a

coming in from the List Server and exim just distributes it. It is a mail
exploder and not a List Server.
