In one terminal run:
exim -d+acl -bd -oX 24

In another terminal, connect to that server on TCP port 24 and speak raw
SMTP to send a message.

After a banner, you respond with the EHLO command. Eg, putting in the
bits you type, that might be:

telnet localhost 24
EHLO my.host.name
MAIL FROM:<my-sender@???>
RCPT TO:<the-recipient@???>
DATA
From: my-sender@???
To: the-recipient@???
Subject: test

foo
.
QUIT

The dot on a line on its own is important, that ends the mail.

You might instead run:

exim -d+acl -bd -oX 24 2>&1 | tee exim.trace

so that you get a copy of all the debug information in a file named
"exim.trace" and you can then look over it with something more
sophisticated than your terminal emulator's scrollbars. Exim provides
debugging information which is almost always sufficient. So there can
be a lot.
