Either
(a) The recipient host must have an empty Exim spool.
OR
(b) You set localhost_number on both hosts and wait till all messages on
the both queues have arrived since you did this.
Otherwise, there is a small chance that there will be identical message
ids (and therefore identical filenames) on both hosts. So I suppose
OR
(c) You manually check that there are no duplicate file names.
Then just move input/* to move the messages. The msglog directory is for
your benefit. Move it if you want it.
