* Carl Inglis <uther@???> [20011030 12:47]: writing on the subject '[Exim] Exim 3.32 - query on the -bpc flag'
| When I try to use the -bpc flag (to get the count of messages 
| waiting) from any user except root, I get this message:
| 
|     exim: permission denied
| 
| The -bp flag, however seems to work fine.
| 
| I have downloaded a fresh set of source and compiled and installed.
| 
| I have tried setting trusted_users to the users I want and 
| queue_list_requires_admin to false, but neither of these seem to 
| have any effect.
| 
| I haven't been able to find anything on the web. Can anyone give 
| me any pointers as to where to look next?
| 
| Thanks,
| 
| Carl


From spec.txt

-bpc   This option counts the number of messages on the queue, and writes the  |
       total to the standard output. It is restricted to admin users, unless   |
       "queue_list_requires_admin" is set false.


I have no_queue_list_requires_admim set and it behaves the same as yours, or
is there something you and me are missing? ;)

I also get permission denied.
