helo all,

My debug file isn't telling me as much as it used to.

(Actually my new problem is IRIX/exim-2.00, rather than Linux/exim-1.92...)

It tells me lots about incoming mail, but nothing about how it handles outgoing
mail.

This is the briefest demonstration I can muster: I start exim with debug flags,
and note the size of exim log and debug files. I then send an outgoing mail,
and note sizes again: the mainlog has increased in size, but the debug file
hasn't.

here are the pasted shell commands:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# rm /tmp/exim.debug
# bin/exim -bd -q15m -df -d11 &
[1]     23890
# wc /tmp/exim.debug /var/adm/exim_mainlog
           130           508          4448 /tmp/exim.debug
            51           406          4030 /var/adm/exim_mainlog
# mail jo
hi there
# wc /tmp/exim.debug /var/adm/exim_mainlog
           130           508          4448 /tmp/exim.debug
            55           446          4414 /var/adm/exim_mainlog


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was quite enjoying debugging my configuration files with the debugger, but
the mainlog is a little too terse for a newbie like me. I'd much rather go to
this mailing list with this 'meta-problem' than paste the four extra lines of
the mainlog, and again for the next problem etc. Many thanks if anyone can
offer any help or suggestions. 'More details on request...'

cheers then,

james
