Until now I thought, that queue runners are started according the "-q…"
option. (Or additionally triggered by external means (cron,
some user, …) The 15m above just means, that during the first 2 hours the
*minimum* distance between to delivery attempts has to be 15 minutes.

The spec reads:

    | Retry times are hints rather than promises. Exim does not make any 
attempt to
    | run deliveries exactly at the computed times. Instead, a queue runner 
process
    | starts delivery processes for delayed messages periodically, and these 
attempt
    | new deliveries only for those addresses that have passed their next retry 
time.

Please correct me, if I'm wrong.
