node. My question is, how does the Exim sendmail binary (which according to
the man page seems to be called "receiving process") tell the smtp daemon
to process emails in the queue? E.g., is there a socket or pipe I don't
know of?


/reads docs for 5 minutes

I'm going to guess that the final thing the receiving process
does, after it has accepted the message, but before it exits,
is to fork a new exim instance with -Mc <message-id> as the
arguments.

This is in contrast to calling a queue runner to process items
sitting in the queue that were not able to be delivered earlier.
