I've tried this to flush the queue:

    exim -Rf hotmail.com

hoping that the queue runner would latch on to an open server and
deliver a whole load of the emails. Is that a vain hope? Will the
runner try to establish a new connection for each message?

Maybe it helps to try a queue run with -qq so that routing is done
first, and all messages destined for hotmail are already routed and
can be delivered down the one pipe, should you get hold of it.

Ah, yes. That's great - thanks! I used

  "exim -qqRf hotmail.com"

And that works nicely! Last night I ran 16 processes with

"exim -Rf hotmail.com", and that did get the queue down, but much more slowly.
