Exim command returns error

Trying to get information about the current state of exim I use the following command which is scattered all over the internet and in cpanel's list of useful commands but here is what happens:

exim -bpc
tail: invalid option -- 'b'
Try 'tail --help' for more information.

duh - what's up with that?

  Does it work if you do:
  /sbin/exim -bpc

  If that is ok then maybe you have some strange alias, do:
  alias

  thank you @quietFinn /sbin/exim -bpc worked but I don't see anything in my alias's that would conflict with the standard input.

  By the way is this the new forum? If so, how can we see posts in the old forum.  

  And how does one delete a post here I can't seem to find that magic command. . . 

  thanks.

  jeffschips - Users have never been able to delete their own threads, even on the old system.  If you need something removed or adjusted, let me know!

  There currently isn't a way to see posts from the old forum, although we do plan to import some older data in the near future.

  Thanks quietFinn - indeed I do have an alias:

  which exim
  alias exim='tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog'
      /usr/bin/tail

  I guess that's the source of the issue. I should probably rename that shortcut. . .

  Also re: cPRex I can't seem to send you a message directly regarding this new forum.

  Unfortunately the new system doesn't have a private message feature.  You can create a support ticket if you need to reach out to me about your account.
