Hi Jeremy,

Ah right, I could so that.

So I'd have

 1. An ACL (rcpt?) identifies outbound email for Micro$oft mail and sets
    queue = annoying
 2. Emails in these queues won't be touched by exim; no further
    processing happens.
 3. Cron job or such does something like one of these two:
     1. ls -1 -t /var/spool/exim4 |tail 50 | while read f ; do exim -M
        $(extract_job_id "$f") l done
     2. ls -1 -t /var/spool/exim4 |tail 50 | while read f ; do mv "$f"
        /var/spool/exim4/input/. ;done


?

Thanks,

Rich
