The only think I can think of doing is running Exim in debugging mode on
the server, to see what information it puts out. This can be done by
running your daemon with
exim -bd -d9
but if your server is busy, it will send an awful lot of output to
stderr. You can kill such a daemon with ^C, because it doesn't
disconnect from the controlling terminal.
If you can't find a quiet enough time to do this, you could make use of
a different port. Run another server as
exim -bd -d9 -oX 1225
say, and configure the client to use this alternate port, by setting the
"service" option in the smtp transport
service = 1225
Then the debugging output from the server won't be contaminated with
stuff from other messages passing through.
