Yes. If you're trying to debug Exim-as-smtp-daemon, do this:
exim -odf -bd -d9
which makes Exim listen for SMTP connections without forking off to
become a daemon.
If this is on a live server, you can listen to a different port and
leave the real server alone:
exim -odf -bd -oX 2525 -d9
Of course then you need to find an SMTP client to talk to port 2525.
"telnet" should work. ;-)
There's also an option to do a fake SMTP session, so you could just as
easily do:
exim -d9 -bs
and then pretend to be an SMTP client.
