Syslog, where is this entry coming from? exim?

/USR/SBIN/CRON[807]: (mail) CMD ( if [ -x /usr/sbin/exim -a -f /etc/exim/exim.conf

Found this in my syslog file, its got to be a cron job but i can't find it, or am looking incorrectly.

What is this and can it be stopped?

looks to me like the cronjob belongs to the user 'mail'
do
#su mail
#crontab -l
and see if you find something there!
all that one could get out of this info is that
the -x checks if the file exists and is executable
the -f checks if the file exists and is a regular file
and i have no idea what the -a means!
check with exim - perhaps it is some kind of standard to have it running!
