After reading the manpage, I see '-qq' is supposed to send out as many
messages down a single connection as possible.
mac.com is currently having issues and connectivity is very
intermittent. I'm trying to flush as many messages as possibles in one
go. So, I'm running 'exim -qqf -v'. But it seems to disconnect after
each delivery.
Output is below.. please advise :-/
Also, I don't know if there's any significant advantage to me using TLS
on an SMTP connection. If it's an overhead, advice on disabling it would
be appreciated. I need to install exim 4.20 so i might just not compile
it in...
