Send A Test Mail via Exim Command line

Sending a test mail from a server with a configured exim is easy as pie.

From your user shell:

  1. tell exim that we want to send a mail to an recipient and tell us about the details of the sending procedure 
    $ exim -v receipient@foo.bar
  2. Tell exim about the sender, the subject and input some text. 
    From: user@your.domain.example
Subject: Foobar
Text Text Text

I like Pie!
  3. Press Ctrl+d
  4. You should see the details about the SMTP connection. You can return to your shell with Ctrl+c
