Why? The exim doc doesn't mention trusted users for mailq / exim -bp.
It just says:
-bp This option requests a listing of the contents of the mail
queue on the standard output. If the -bp option is followed
by a list of message ids, just those messages are listed. By
default, this option can be used only by an admin user. How-
ever, the "queue_list_requires_admin" option can be set false
to allow any user to see the queue.
But I recall the problem and the question: this option is not in the
configuration files, even commented out (like the other options). Is
there any reason or is it a bug?
For those who have the latest exim4 version (from unstable), is this
option also documented in the exim4(8) man page but missing from the
configuration files?
