I'm going to guess that the final thing the receiving process
does, after it has accepted the message, but before it exits,
is to fork a new exim instance with -Mc <message-id> as the
arguments.
This is in contrast to calling a queue runner to process items
sitting in the queue that were not able to be delivered earlier.
