part is because we want them to behave differently (different baked-in
values AND exim.conf values). We run one daemon from each instance.
We first tried doing the second one using a -C in the command line which
starts the daemon. That failed rather miserably on a mailing list machine
where the mailing list is operated by the 'second' instance: it was
passing off stuff to the first instance and the coordination wasn't there.
A few (hundred) multiple deliveries later I decided that was a bad idea (no
one got more than 5 copies, to the best of my knowledge, and fortunately
the list gets one message per week).
