From your description of what you're trying to do, I see that you don't
need both exim and sendmail.
Exim's retry algorithm can be configured to retry less often for
certain domains, so even if you have many messages in your queue, exim
will not spend too many resources trying to deliver these messages.
If you still think that you need 2 separate queues, then you can run 2
instances of exim, each listening on its own IP address, and using a
different configuration file, with different settings. You don't need
to have sendmail on your computer.
