I don't understand your point. So what is it that you like about logs
that "don't show" what you want? ;)

Anyway, what Exim writes to the log files is determined by, amongst
other things, the options you give to "log_selector". If you grep
for that from your Exim config file, what do you have? You could
as well check the different options that are accepted by this
parameter. See spec.txt.

You want all that verbose information? Then just play with log_selector,
but please remember - Exim is Exim! It's not MDaemon, it's not Sendmail,
etc. It's Exim, with it's own style.

One last suggestion: Have you tried running Exim with -d switch? If that
fails to give you what you want as well, then whatever you want is just
not available within Exim ;)
