How to enable log selector in Exim

Add the following entry in advanced configuration editor in exim:-

=====================================================================
log_selector = +address_rewrite +all_parents +arguments +connection_reject +delay_delivery +delivery_size +dnslist_defer +incoming_interface +incoming_port +lost_incoming_connection +queue_run +received_sender +received_recipients +retry_defer +sender_on_delivery +size_reject +skip_delivery +smtp_confirmation +smtp_connection +smtp_protocol_error +smtp_syntax_error +subject +tls_cipher +tls_peerdn
======================================================================

Restart exim after this :-

# /scripts/restartsrv_exim “OR”

# /etc/init.d/exim restart

Once this is done , you will be able to find the location of the script which is sending mails as nobody user. For this Just issue the following command:-

# tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog | grep cwd
