After installing I realised that if I give mailq from a user login

mailq -C /etc/exim_outgoing.conf

it does not work. You have to be root to do that. So now I have created a
script called mq

sudo mailq -C /etc/exim_outgoing.conf

Now on typing mq I get the queue of the mails after scanning.

Another thing, for exim I have to change the ownership of Mailscanner and
exim_incoming.

chown -R mail.mail /var/spool/MailScanner
chown -R mail.mail /var/spool/exim_incoming

I asked because at present I am using alien to convert the rpm to deb and
than install that deb using dpkg. :-)

Thanks for this excellent product.

Peace
