That's what it does if there's nothing in the queue to deliver.

Looks just like mine. Since you have started exim with -bd, the main
process will open up port 25 and start accepting mail like any good mail
server does. The -q1m command means that every 60 seconds, a queue
runner will run and check to see if there is anything in the queue that
needs to be delivered at this time. If there is nothing to deliver, it
will exit and log "End queue run:".

What would be a bug is if after waiting the 60 seconds, it ran the queue
runner again.. so what happens if you just wait 60 seconds with the -bd
-q1m command line?
