Instead of having Exim try to deliver all of the mail the
instant it is injected, you might have it queue up the mail so
that the queue running process(es) handle it. You could add
the -odq switch to your exim command. (You may also want to
adjust the value of queue_run_max and the rate the queue is
processed (or have the script create a bunch of 'exim -q'
processes when you are ready).)
