Bug#515727: exim4-config: running queue on ppp/ip-up hardly delays other ip-up scripts

Package: exim4-config
Followup-For: Bug #515727


When there are messages in queue addressed to domains with unresponsible MX servers, runq may take VERY long time.
So others scripts in ip-up.d must wait (e.g. adding routes), and taking up interface may become unacceptably long.
Easy solution - manually adding "&" to end of line which starts runq in /etc/ip-up.d/exim4 so queue starts running in background, and ip-up.d continues.
May be it contradicts some policy, I don't know, but it solves the problem.
