You might want to configure exim to put its mainlog elsewhere.

;-)


Seriously, it doesn't look like there is an option to do this in
log_selector - I guess because you'd not normally want this level
of detail in exim's mainlog. Don't see why you couldn't just run
it as a background task logging to a separate file, though.

Someone else with more knowledge of exim's internals may be able
to help more. The initial command I gave usually works well enough
for me.

Cheers,

Matthew
