Subject: [Exim] How to invoke queue runners the right way
Hi,

all exim installations I have ever seen (including the ones I have
built myself, which is the vast majority) either run exim -q<num>m or
have a cron job invoking exim -q on a regular basis.

I am wondering if it would be useful to use -qq<num>m or exim -qq from
cron instead to allow multiple messages to be delivered down a single
SMTP session.

At least exim 4's installation instructions (Chapter 4 in spec.txt)
doesn't mention queue runner at all (which I consider an omission that
should be fixed).

What is the recommended way to have regular queue runners invoked?

Greetings
Marc
