The transport looks like this:
save_all:
driver = appendfile
batch_max = 200
use_bsmtp
envelope_to_add
delivery_date_add
return_path_add
group = mail
mode = 0660
directory = /var/spool/exim/vmail/postmaster/Maildir
create_directory
maildir_format = true
The "duplicate" issue is resolved and I find that I can use IMAP to
check the mail because I retained Maildir_format. Now, what if I started
a second Exim process for only sending out mail through a manual route
and made its queue one of the IMAP folders, e.g.
/path/to/Maildir/.queue/cur. If I dragged and dropped the batched emails
_one at a time_ into that folder, would the second Exim process pick up
the email and send it on without a hitch?
Thanks for your help.
