How can I arrange to allow a limited set of users to perform a limited set of Exim administration functions? I don't want to put them all in the exim group.

I want to “tail” the Exim log, but I have a number of other logs I also want to “tail”, and the number of tailing windows is getting to be a nuisance.

How can I persuade Exim to accept ETRN commands without the leading # character?

I've recently noticed that emails I send with a Bcc: line are being delivered to their final destination with the Bcc: line still present.

I used gv 3.5.8 (ghostview) to try printing spec.ps. After every printed page, the printer ejects a blank sheet. Is this something to do with using “letter” rather than A4 paper?

Why aren't there any man pages for Exim? I don't always carry my printed documentation.

When I send a message using the -t command line option, Exim sends only to the addresses within the message, not to those on the command line.

If I set up a domain list to contain *customer.com, it matches customer.com and abc.customer.com as required, but it also matches noncustomer.com, which is wrong. How can I get round this?

I want to match all domains of the form *.oyoy.org but want a few exceptions. For instance I don't want foo.oyoy.org or bar.oyoy.org to be included. What is the best way to do this?

Although I haven't set check_spool_space, Exim is still checking the amount of space on the spool for incoming SMTP messages that use the SIZE option. Can I suppress this?

I just noticed log entries that start off <= <>. Am I correct in assuming that the <> indicates that the envelope did not contain any “From” data?

I've received a message which does not have my address in the To: line. It is a spam message with the same address in both the From: and the To: headers. How can this happen, and why doesn't Exim reject it?

Can (or will) Exim ever handle a message delivery purely in memory, that is, it is handled without it ever hitting the disk?

If I am using dbm files for data that Exim reads, can I rebuild them on the fly, or do I need to restart Exim every time I make a change?

How can I make Exim receive incoming mail, queue it, but not attempt to deliver it? I want to be in this state while moving some mailboxes.

Does Exim support POP and/or IMAP, or do I have to install something else to do that?

Is there an easy way of removing all queued messages at once in a safe way?

Why does Exim do ident callbacks by default? Isn't this just a waste of resources? I've been told this is an ancient way of authentication. Is it obsolete?

What precautions should I take when editing Exim's run time configuration file?

Is exim able to use RFC 2645, On-demand Mail Relay (ODMR)?

Is there any way I can send bounces to the postmaster, and nobody else? Basically, I want to receive them, and I don't want the reply/from person to get them. If I think they need it I will forward it myself.

When I HUP the Exim daemon, the name shown in the process table changes from /usr/lib/sendmail (which is a symlink) to the real binary name. Can I change this?

A message with a recipient address that contains a non-printing character is stuck on my mail queue. How can I remove this address?

Why is there no sender address on bounce messages? It shows up as "<>".

Are there any Exim web-based administration scripts?

How can I send a copy of all outgoing messages to another mailbox?

Is there any way to make the queue_only option conditional? I would like the ability to queue messages from external sources while deliver locally generated email as normal.

Does Exim run with different permissions between -bt and -bh, or between verifying and actual sending?
