check_mailq exim patch and instructions...

[Jim Mozley]

I search the archives for "exim" looking for a queue checking plugin and used
some of this below. I think that the pattern match:

if (//0// ) {

is incorrect.

It should be something like /^0/ as otherwise a message queue of, for instance,
105 messages is treated as an empty mail queue, which is probably not what was
intended.
