Just for the record: could you please put it into perspecive? Which is the queue-size where exim starts showing problems?
Some time ago at exim-users-de some admin reported his queue-problems. His queue was incredibly big and since everbody knows about exims large-queue-problems he asked for advice.... IIRC how to fall back to a second outbound-host if the first one can't deliver instantly, disk-optimizations, changing number of concurrent queue-runners etc. Queue-size was 300. Greylisting, unreachable recipients, etc. In my experience, that size is really no issue for exim. ;-) -- CU, Patrick.
