The Exim manual says:

    -odqs


    This option is a hybrid between -odb and -odq. A delivery
    process is started for each incoming message, the addresses are
    all processed, and local deliveries are done in the normal way.
    However, if any SMTP deliveries are required, they are not done
    at this time. Such messages remain on the queue until a
    subsequent queue-running process encounters them. Because
    routing was done, Exim knows which messages are waiting for
    which hosts, and so a number of messages for the same host will
    get sent in a single SMTP connection. The queue_smtp_domains
    configuration option has the same effect for specific domains.
    See also the -qq option.


So why does "exim -odqs" say: "exim: neither action flags nor mail
addresses given"? What am I missing here?

I'm running version 3.35 (on a Debian GNU/Linux -- Woody system).
