Very little! That's the whole point. The daemon gets rid of it quickly.
However, the new Exim does some checks before responding.
Suggest you run your port 25 Exim in debugging mode for a test. See
where it is hanging. (This may produce confusing output if the system is
busy, unfortunately.)
Alternatively, you might get some information from -bh, but that isn't
quite the same environment.
