Ubuntu – find the output of exim’s ‘debug_print’

eximUbuntu

I'm trying to debug an exim configuration issue (Ubuntu) and I see lots of lines in the config such as:

remote_smtp:
   debug_print = "T: remote_smtp for $local_part@$domain"
   driver = smtp

However, I cannot figure out how to get the output of these statements. I've tried editing /etc/default/exim4 and adding various CLI parameters there such as -v, -d, -d+all and while they do have an effect, the debug_print lines are nowhere to be found (stderr,stdout,/var/log/exim4/mainlog).

How do enable and where do I then find the "T: remote_smtp for …" output?

According to the exim docs

If this option is set and debugging is enabled (see `-d', `-v', and `debug_level'), 
then the string is expanded and included in the debugging output when the transport
is run.

You can verify this is working by running exim manually on the command line:

exim -d+all -bP transport remote_smtp

Did you try adding debug_level 1 to your exim config?
