Dear Maintainer,

check_mailq -M exim is looking for strings like 19aEEr-0007hx-Dy i.e. 6-6-2 characters.
In perl notation: /\s[\w\d]{6}-[\w\d]{6}-[\w\d]{2}\s/

However current (debian 13) version of exim uses longer message ID: 1w5LQ6-00000002Hr7-2WRU,
i.e. 6-11-4, or /\s[\w\d]{6}-[\w\d]{11}-[\w\d]{4}\s/

Please fix the regex on line 516.

Thank you
Vladislav Kurz
