You can. When calling exim "in the normal way", commands will be run
on the "normal" queue. By calling "exim -c /path/to/2nd.config" the
command will affect the queue directoty mentioned in 2nd.config.

See above.

We created some additional shell scripts to either show what's in the
incoming spool dir or in the outgoing queue.
