Maybe you should tell us what you want to do.

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?

I found in the documentation:
Delivery processes may be started as a
result of a message's arrival, by a queue runner process,
or by an administrator using the -M option.
The question is the following:
Can you tell me who starts the delivery process
when a message arrives?
Or how does the delivery process
know that a message has arrived?
My understanding is: smtp-session gets opened from a MUA or MTA via one
of the ports exim listens on: delivery process gets started because of
the smtp-session
A mail couldn't be delivered and sits in the queue: queue runner starts
it at some point
Administrator runs something like "exim -M $message-id" and a delivery
process gets started.
Best,
Niels
