==== Receiving emails ====
Pick an email address that you added to the “email_accounts” database, and try sending email to it while logged-in to server command-line:
exim -d -bt testname@yourdomain.com
…this will give a COMPLETE list of what exim is doing, and it will tell you every decision it made along the way. It should eventually decide the address is “routeable” and OK it.
If that looks OK, try sending an email from your normal email account (e.g. your Hotmail / Gmail / Yahoo.com address). Wait a minute, then check the server to see if it crashed trying to receive the email, by checking the logfiles.
Check exim’s logfiles
Exim will put its logfiles in /var/log/exim4. Check for errors using:
tail /var/log/exim4/mainlog
(if there’s a lot of errors, you’ll have to cat the whole thing)
If it rejected the email, it will send a bounce-back to your email provider (yahoo/gmail/etc), and it will ALSO put some info into:
tail /var/log/exim4/rejectlog
==== Sending emails ====

…I waited until I had webmail (Roundcube) working before trying this…
Any other Exim problems?
If exim is working, but its blocking/rejecting/losing emails, it will “freeze” them after the first failure. You need to “unfreeze” (i.e. retry) each email to see if you’ve fixed the problem.
How?
Here is a list of commands to help: http://bradthemad.org/tech/notes/exim_cheatsheet.php
