The problem most likely is that you fail to specify -enough- parameters
to make it clear to Exim what you want. For example, by doing:

$ exim4 -odq <recipient emailaddress>

Exim goes into 'accepting a message'-mode, and does exactly what you
want. But, Exim expects a message on standard input. Either through a
pipe or you typing the text directly into Exim on STDIN.

The message should conform to some standards, so it should have at least
have From: and a To: line. If you choose to type the message on STDIN
instead of piping a premade text through Exim, you can 'end' the message
by pressing Control-D on an empty line.

Works-for-me:

| $ exim4 -odq ssmeenk@???
| From: Sander Smeenk <ssmeenk@???>
| To: Sander Smeenk <ssmeenk@???>
| Subject: testing 123
| 
| 123 testing!
| ^D
| $ mailq
|  0m   561 1KNthe-0000eX-2k <sanders@???>
|           ssmeenk@???
| $


These messages stay on the queue until the next queue-run is started.

Regards,
-Sndr.
