Exim spawns a new queue runner every n minutes as configured by the
argument to -q; up to queue_run_max can be active at the same time.
Spawning a queue runner only every 30 mins means that a message that
failed delivery on the first attempt (e.g. due to greylisting) will only
be retried 30 minutes later.
A queue runner will immediately exit if the queue is empty, so it is
more a function on how quickly Exim will scale to mail load and how
quickly it will retry than something that is taxing on an otherwise
empty system.
This allows the definition of a custom derivation of Exim,
which can be used to enable custom features such as LDAP and PAM support.
The default behaviour remains unchanged (defaulting to pkgs.exim).
