} In the meantime, you could write a program or script to call Exim with

Unless they have a strange copy of xargs, or are deliberately telling it
to do otherwise, xargs should make the command line as long as the system
can handle.

[However, isn't whats really being asked for is the ability to tell exim
to make a delivery connection to "site" and shove all outstanding messages
for "site" down it??]

I must admit that I haven't seen a means off the command line to persuade
exim to process all outstanding for a site along with the currently
processed message - it may just be that the spawned of process that should
be handling the additional deliveries down the connection you have started
is not logging verbosely and isn't so visible...
