Unfortunately, exim just ignores any breakpoints... it hits them for sure, bc I see the print stmts. It must have to do with exims threading. I tried detach-on-fork off, but no luck.

See the "-d" section, also "debug_print" in

What is it that you're attempting to understand, specifically? The code is open, of course, so you can step through that if you need to but note that different configurations will process data in different ways according to local preference/necessity.
