set higher verbosity in exim4 output



Never used exim but trying to get it setup since the latest version of
sendmail seems to have some problems I don't understand on a new debian
install.

I've pounded along googling and scanning the exim documentation on
board for a couple of hours tonight... but I have yet to find a simple
straight forward explanation of how to get more verbose output so I can
tell what is happening in smtp conversation.

Running mailx -v email@address <somefile  only shows enough to learn
that the message was `delayed'.  Not very helpful.... I want to see what
is happening at the smarthost regarding authentication.

I understand one can send messages with exim directly from the command
line like sendmail but could not find any examples of that.

the exim manpages appears to be devoid of basic examples.

And apparently my google strings are not clever enough to unearth some
examples.

How would I send a message directly with exim4 from the command line and
at the same time set verbosity to a much higher level?

I saw the -d switch but no example of sending from cmdline, to try it
with.
