If you're using exim (from slink, version 2.05), only 10 mails are delivered
at once. The other mails are waiting in the smtp-queue. With 'exim -qf' you
can deliver the waiting mails manually.
There is also an undocumented configuration option which tells exim to
deliver the mails without queueing. Add
smtp_accept_queue_per_connection = 0
to the main configuration settings of /etc/exim.conf. There are some other
options for smtp, which are described in the manual from exim.
