Basic Exim troubleshooting

Here are the basic SSH commands to assist in troubleshooting any suspected exim mail server troubles:

• Display the current exim configuration
  exim -bP
• List the messages currently in the exim queue
  exim -bp
• Count the messages currently in the exim queue
  exim -bpc
• Combine a List with sSummary
  exim -bp | exiqsumm
• Explain current exim status and function
  exiwhat
• Test a mail address
  exim -bt {full-email-address}
• Test incoming mail connection as if from an IP
  exim -bh {IP}
  If your mailserver is rejecting mail from a specific location this will allow you to test as if you were at that IP (note any mails created are auto-discarded)
