System and Network configuration • debugging exim(4)

>What does the log say?
Sorry , say about what? It has stuff like this
Do you mean, when I tried their various debug options ? Well nothing changed in the logs ... I don't believe that is where the debugging info goes. As I said the only debug I managed to get out came via stderr/stdout and that was just "startup" info.


>What extra info do you think you'll need from a debug log?
Well the guys in the exim4 mailing list suggested various options. Right now I don't need anything ... I spent about 6 days of 12 hours working on its and by brute force found the problem. What I'd like to do is to be able to try their suggestions .


But this is not my question. My question is HOW do people debug exim4 on Debian .... e,g

• 1: I add flags to /etc/default/exim4
  2: I add options in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf and do a update-exim4.conf(8)
  3: edit files in /etc/exim4/conf.d/ and run update-exim4.conf(8)
  4: Kill the exim4 process and start by hand adding debug options
  5: ....

The guys on the exim4 mailinglist can offer advice on what options I can use to debug , but don't know how to apply these in a Debian environment.
