man exim says:
-q[q][i][f[f]]l
The l (the letter `ell') flag specifies that only local
deliveries are to be done. If a message requires any remote
deliveries, it remains on the queue for later delivery.
So, the command 'exim -qffl 5m' would cause a queue runner to run every
5 minutes, and only deliver all outstanding local mail.
