mail sent should not be queued,
or at least, provide an option to do so.
If I'm monitoring file, i'd want to be informed right away,
not wait for the next exim flush-queue event.
in Swatch/Actions.pm, the option -odq is used,
causing the mail to not be delivered.
I see it could level a storm of email messages,
but then the swatch config was wrong at the start.
(threshold should be used to counter that)
here is the patch :

thanks.
