Subject: [Exim] How to queue mail from a given sender, or from a given host?
Hi,

I admit still using exim 3.

As most "modern" mailing list managers insist on delivering outgoing
mail via SMTP, one cannot use -odq to have exim queue the messages and
not to try immediate delivery. Having messages delivered by the queue
runner has the advantage of being able to use the hints databases, and
it avoids load peaks that can happen when a lot of messages come in
simultaneously.

Is there any possibility to have exim _not_ try to immediately deliver
e-mails that come in via SMTP from a given IP address (127.0.0.1, for
example), or with an envelope-sender of foo-bounces@???,
instead of immediately delivering them?

Any hints will be appreciated.

Greetings
Marc
