Hi Ian,
Appreciate you taking the time to reply. Unfortunately I am not a programmer
so looking at the docs doesn't do much for me. I can edit code that exists
to a certain extent, but can't wrap my head around creating code. I don't
know where to look to see if i am using perl routines elsewhere? in the
exim.conf file?
If i did figure out how to do it with control = queue ACL (where would i
put that) would the setting that is already in the exim.pl script that tells
the message to die if over the message limit not override the ACL?
I contacted cpanel support and they say its not possible, but I find that
hard to beleive.
Thanks so much
John

That line just starts the perl interpreter. Presumably, you're using the
perl routines elsewhere in your configuration.
This is all well documented in chapter 12 of the Exim docs, eg at
<
http://www.exim.org/exim-pdf-current/doc/spec.pdf>
However, you don't need perl at all to queue messages. You can use "control
= queue" only in any ACL, and you'll be interested in the ratelimit ACL.
See section 40.35 of the docs.
