Re: [exim] who starts the delivery process?

Thanks,

as I understand it,
the delivery process,
that the message has arrived,
can be told by the process of
receiving the message,
which puts the message in the queue?

Or can it tell the service
that is listening on SMTP
that it learns this from
the receiving process?
