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.
