helo all,
since I wish to have a closer look at what exim's doing, I set
"STDERR_FILE=/var/log/exim.debug" in Local/Makefile, recompiled, recopied the
"exim" binary only over to the target host, and added the flags "-df -d5" to
its init.d/sendmail startup script:
daemon /usr/lib/sendmail -df -d5 -bd -q1h
(which of course points to ../exim/bin/exim)
the process hangs the machine on boot-up and I have to re-start in single user
mode to tweak the flags some more.
ommitting the "-df" flag writes the messages to the screen (and prevents it
from doing anything else on runlevel 3) and omitting the "-d<number>" flag
means it doesn't write output. any ideas?
