Nifty. Kind of destroys the typescript's readability because of the
parallelism involved, but that isn't too bad because I have switched
to evaluating the msglog files to determine the actual error message
to handle the message.

I have a macro REM_SMTP_CONN_TIMEOUT = 5m in my exim.conf, and set
connect_timeout = REM_SMTP_CONN_TIMEOUT on my remote_smtp transport. I
can then interactively control the timeout with exim -v -D
REM_SMTP_CONN_TIMEOUT=1m -qqR on the command line.

AFAICS maximized by the -P argument to xargs since no more than 10
"domain based queue runners" are running at a time.
