Ewwwww. Oh, and inaccurate; it will show you the entire queue if you
are in the exim group (if you have set one) or if you are an admin
user. RTFM.

No thanks.

You didn't RTFM and you got burnt. Tough.
exim itself does _not_ have to have mailq as a link to it. If you
started using a 3rd party provided package (particularly one as
complex as an MTA) without reading the documentation, thats your
problem.
mailq's operation is a documented feature, one that I like.
MTA admins who don't read documentation, I don't like.
