Postfix queue handled by exim

[Frank DeChellis]

Hi there,

Crazy question, but here goes.

I have about 1Gig of email received by postfix in a queue on one server.  Is
it possible for that queue to be process by exim?  Is it possible to
transfer that queue to another server and have it process by exim?

You could emply ``postcat'', so some postprocessing (extract the sender:
and recipient: line(s) and feed this via formail or swaks or directly
into exim.

It's cleaner than trying to decode the postfix spoolfiles yourself and
to create the *-H and *-D file for exim yourself.

You can transfer mail by some condition to Exim and he will send this
mail. BUT as I know Postfix mail queue processing is much faster then an
Exim one so think about it twice.

May be just make a load balancing with two Postfix(simple round-robin
DNS) or upgrade one?
