If you are DELIVERING a large amount of email, you might want to look at postfix instead of exim as it deals with large queues much better than exim.
For many of our customers, we setup ECMSquared (exim), but also configure another machine with postfix and make that a smarthost for outbound email for exim and for the rest of their local systems.
You can also setup postfix on the SAME machine as your exim config listening on a different port on localhost only and then all your queueing is handled by this completely separate process. You do have to watch out for some possible configs where you end up with a loop, but you have to try hard to make that happen.
