It should for you, too, I hope. If you supply -d instead of -v > (-d implies -v as well) you get a lot more output.
Thanks for the useful input... just what I was after... and so simple when you see it. Unfortunately, there appears to have been some code added between the version you do that with, and the newest pkgs with the netinst daily images. What version does that for you? Here is is: Exim version 4.82 #3 built 12-Apr-2014 14:20:29 When I try it, either as my user or root I get lots of info especially with -d, but also a list of reasons why I shouldn't be doing this and it just returns the prompt and never gives a chance to type anything. ==================================================================== reader > /usr/sbin/exim4 -v Exim is a Mail Transfer Agent. It is normally called by Mail User Agents, not directly from a shell command line. Options and/or arguments control what it does when called. For a list of options, see the Exim documentation. Same thing with sudo. Using -d and sudo I get a heap of interesting info but am not allowed to send anything. Trying /usr/sbin/exim4 -v $recip < somefile Gives the same output. Apparently something has been done to stop that kind of usage. However it does refer me to the Exim documentation for options... too bad it is not a little more specific I really hate reading heaps of documentation that will stay with me about 5 minutes, when its one little nugget somewhere in the heap I'm after. So anyway, I have that chore before me now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
