Hello everyone,

I have a 'backup' host configuration which accepts the mail when the 
server with higher MX is down:

manual_route:
         transport = remote_smtp
         driver = manualroute
         domains =  +relay_to_domains
         route_list = btw2.pl 77.253.234.172 ; btw2.eu 77.253.234.172
         unseen

Since the router is unseen, Exim also processes mail normally and stores 
it locally to enable users read mail on the backup host when the main 
host is down.

Well, a silly thing happened: another administrator cleared the setuid 
bit on exim binary and exim was unable to save the incoming mail locally.

The mail was obviously not lost since it's in the queue and will be 
delivered when the main host goes online.

But I would like to make Exim save that mail again on backup host, that 
is, to reprocess each mail in the queue as if it were just incoming over 
SMTP, so it could save the local copy.

Is there a way to do this in Exim? I don't want to muck about manual 
delivering spool files to user maildir folders.

Regards,
mk
