Betreff: [Exim] How to hold system filter
Hi,

when updating a program that is called from a system filter, it is
generally a good idea to stop the system filter from being called
while the work is in progress. But of course, one would like to have
the server continue accepting mail.

When I set hold_domains, the message is accepted and put on the queue.
But the system filter is called in the progress. So it looks like the
only way to have the desired behavior is to:
- restart the daemon so that no queue runners are started
- disable all cron jobs starting queue runners
- kill off all currently running queue runners.

Is there any more easy way to achive the desired behavior of incoming
messages being put on the queue without the system filter being
invoked, while invoking the system filter on these messages before
actually delivering them?

Greetings
Marc
