Run "exim -bp" to see the mails in the queue.

To see the files on disk, run "exim -bP spool_directory", see the input/
subdirectory under there.

These are the periodic queue-runners; one starts, does nothing because
there's nothing to look at, then ends.

This shows that you have queue-runners every 10 minutes, but you *also*
have a non-standard port, so perhaps you have two instances of Exim
running, each with their own spool? See which configuration file is
used for port 2525, then use "exim -C /path/to/that/config -bp" instead.

You *should* have different log-files for each Exim instance. Look at
those to see what was done. "exim -bP log_file_path".
