-# Exim collector
-
-Simple module executing `exim -bpc` to grab exim queue.
-This command can take a lot of time to finish its execution thus it is not recommended to run it every second.
-
-## Requirements
-
-The module uses the `exim` binary, which can only be executed as root by default. We need to allow other users to `exim` binary. We solve that adding `queue_list_requires_admin` statement in exim configuration and set to `false`, because it is `true` by default. On many Linux distributions, the default location of `exim` configuration is in `/etc/exim.conf`.
-
-1. Edit the `exim` configuration with your preferred editor and add:
-`queue_list_requires_admin = false`
-2. Restart `exim` and Netdata
-
-*WHM (CPanel) server*
-
-On a WHM server, you can reconfigure `exim` over the WHM interface with the following steps.
-
-1. Login to WHM
-2. Navigate to Service Configuration --> Exim Configuration Manager --> tab Advanced Editor
-3. Scroll down to the button **Add additional configuration setting** and click on it.
-4. In the new dropdown which will appear above we need to find and choose:
-`queue_list_requires_admin` and set to `false`
-5. Scroll to the end and click the **Save** button.
-
-It produces only one chart:
-
-1. **Exim Queue Emails**

-
-Configuration is not needed.

-### Troubleshooting
-
-To troubleshoot issues with the `exim` module, run the `python.d.plugin` with the debug option enabled. The
-output will give you the output of the data collection job or error messages on why the collector isn't working.
-
-First, navigate to your plugins directory, usually they are located under `/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/`. If that's
-not the case on your system, open `netdata.conf` and look for the setting `plugins directory`. Once you're in the
-plugin's directory, switch to the `netdata` user.
-
-```bash
-cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
-sudo su -s /bin/bash netdata
-```
-
-Now you can manually run the `exim` module in debug mode:
-
-```bash
-./python.d.plugin exim debug trace
-```
