How do I view what exim is doing?

Exim comes with a utility called “exiwhat” which will display what each instance of exim is currently involved with.

exiwhat

The output will look similar to this

exim mail server exiwhat

To monitor the exim log in realtime, you may use the tail command

tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog

See Exim, exiwhat
