Okey thanks ,
    You right I can install 2 instances of exim at this moment I will
have 2 different queues  .


    And I know I can set many retry algoritma but bad think is I can set
it for only recipients domain , not for sender domains :(


Thanks
Vahric

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.
