Yes. The queue runner daemon will only be running when the dial-up
line is up and will be killed when the line is going down. Actually, I
would prefer e-mail delivered to exim while the line is up to be
delivered immediately but that would mean to change queue_smtp and to
re-start exim. So the only means I have is to have the queue run every
two minutes while the line is up.

What happens when you are doing a lengthy download and write mail
while the download is running? Your mail is not deliverd until the PPP
link comes up for the next time.
Am I missing something?
