1) Some mail with cc'd addresses is being duplicated in local delivery as

Use the batch_max option.
2) If the mail is good, how do we "release it" (using Mozilla
Thunderbird and Courier-imap's Outbox feature) without Exim trying to
send to all of the cc'd addresses not in our domain? Does anyone know of
a better way to do this using (or not using) IMAP. I've briefly looked
at Mailscanner but I'm not clear on the admin interface for releasing
mail from multiple queues.
You can't do this, because after final delivery the list of recipients
seen by your MTA has been lost. You can avoid this problem by storing the
quarantined email in batch SMTP format, but then you can't use IMAP to
check them.
The transport looks like this:
save_all:
driver = appendfile
batch_max = 200
use_bsmtp
envelope_to_add
delivery_date_add
return_path_add
group = mail
mode = 0660
directory = /var/spool/exim/vmail/postmaster/Maildir
create_directory
maildir_format = true
The "duplicate" issue is resolved and I find that I can use IMAP to
check the mail because I retained Maildir_format. Now, what if I started
a second Exim process for only sending out mail through a manual route
and made its queue one of the IMAP folders, e.g.
/path/to/Maildir/.queue/cur. If I dragged and dropped the batched emails
_one at a time_ into that folder, would the second Exim process pick up
the email and send it on without a hitch?
Thanks for your help.
