I think exim would be your least problem in this case.

At least it helps to keep everything under control, The queue-runner
daemon will never start more then queue_runner_max processes, starting
the queuerunner from cron can lead to problems with LARGE and slowly
delvering queues, just think about a broken connection, which drops 50%
of your packets. What if cron starts a queuerunner every 10 minutes in
this case?
