Is it possible for a message to make it into the queue without exim
having done the routing for it? In the spec.txt if implies that even
mail sent to the queue immediately for later delivery by a queue-runner
will be likely to be sent in a single session. Is this only if the first
delivery fails, or does exim do the routing even when it saves to the
queue? Also is the mail handled any differently if the mail is saved to
the queue because of load settings?
