Randy,


Did you notice that you mistyped the command?

It should be:

exim -d11 -bt itojun@???

Otherwise, it appears you get this:

etc.

[As a sidenote, that doesn't appear to happen with 3.35:

pts/0 juha@vimfuego:/$ /usr/sbin/exim -d11 -bt itojun@???
Exim version 3.35 debug level 11 uid=500 gid=0
Berkeley DB: Sleepycat Software: DB 2.4.14: (6/2/98)
itojun@???
deliver to itojun@???
router = lookuphost, transport = remote_smtp
host sh1.iijlab.net [202.232.15.98] MX=10

pts/0 juha@vimfuego:/$ /usr/sbin/exim -d 11 -bt itojun@???
Exim version 3.35 debug level 11 uid=500 gid=0
Berkeley DB: Sleepycat Software: DB 2.4.14: (6/2/98)
itojun@???
deliver to itojun@???
router = lookuphost, transport = remote_smtp
host sh1.iijlab.net [202.232.15.98] MX=10
