I use two main log files:
- /var/log/exim_mainlog — incoming and outgoing messages
- /var/log/maillog — IMAP/POP3 mailbox connections (handled by dovecot)
I've put together two examples — one successful and one unsuccessful — but I want to make sure I'm interpreting them correctly:
- Successful: the message arrived, was placed in the queue, and saved to the virtual mailbox.
- Unsuccessful: LMTP returns a defer due to quota or limit being exceeded.
