huh?? he asked y it was redialiing when it wanted to send the queue, when
he doesn't want it to dial.
setup exim to run exim(sendmail) -bd with no -q option
Then setup your crontab or whatever to do exim -q at the times that you want
the queue run to run (ie during business hours)
This is all in the specification in chapter 44.
