I'd add that what I've done is to have local_domains including:
| lsearch;/etc/exim/localbatch
and a transport:
| batchsmtp_delivery:
| driver = appendfile
| bsmtp = all
| prefix = ""
| user = exim
| group = mail
| file = ${lookup{${lc:$domain}} lsearch {/etc/exim/localbatch} {$value}}
| mode = 0600
and a director:
A
| batchsmtp_director:
| driver = smartuser
| domains = lsearch;/etc/exim/localbatch
| transport = batchsmtp_delivery
Thus, when a host goes down that I'm supposed to be secondarying for, I can
add the domain name and a spoolfile to /etc/exim/localbatch, and it starts
spooling the mail for a remerge with exim -bS at the other end. I have seen
outages of longer than a retry timeout before now.
