Exim queue delivery doesn't wait for incoming mail.
How about starting a bunch of queue runners after producing the digests.
so queue them all (eg with "exim -odq") and then start several runners,
perhaps one for each domain.

Serialize hosts can be a bit idiosyncratic, eg: if the primary MX is
busy it may try the secondary. it's best not to rely heavily on it.
