Exim can only log what it handles, so even enhancement
with 'warn', 'message' and 'log_write' won't see what goes on between
the hand-off to SA and the return - only before and after.

Exim *can* log the setup and results of all SQL calls - even to the
point of showing the pwd in the log - that you may be doing already.

But the problem seems to be in the SA area.

SA does have configurable logging, but I have never paid much attention
to it.

'Cheap and cheerful' way I go about it is to point everything in
installed ports and packages to syslogd, crank up their debug levels,
edit /etc/syslog.conf to send *everything loose* to /var/log/console.log

Then use 'multitail' to watch ~/console.log and several others at once,
see which is most helpful....

*BEWARE* - if you get disconnected from an ssh session, 'multitail'
will live on, and within a day or less can consume all the CPU
available. Always do a 'top' and make sure it is dead before going away!
