Actually I think that's what it ought to do. On my home system, started
with -bd -q1h, in the mainlog:
2006-12-03 20:14:18 Start queue run: pid=4004
2006-12-03 20:14:18 End queue run: pid=4004
2006-12-03 21:14:18 Start queue run: pid=5434
2006-12-03 21:14:18 End queue run: pid=5434
2006-12-03 22:14:18 Start queue run: pid=5841
2006-12-03 22:14:18 End queue run: pid=5841

Obviously it's not terribly busy :-) but it sounds like Juergen's exim
won't do this, the queue run only ever happens once.

Cheers,

John.
