I don't understand the need for intelligence in this job. You don't
want the normally high number of queue runners around when the queues
are low. You don't want too many queue runners when the queues get
enormous. Typically, I have about 23 queue runners sweeping over my
2,500 message queue. When the queue climbs up beyond 50,000, it's nice
to know I'll have 200 queue runners working it.
Actually, what I really don't understand is how this could be better
than a simple
exim -bd -q30s
with
queue_run_max = 200
in the configuration file. I'm just "playing along". :-)
