You can try this command: <br>sudo tail /var/log/exim4/mainlog

I actually disabled logging in as root for security purposes. Is there another way I can view these logs?

Try logging in as root and then reading the log files.

I actually don’t have any logs for exim in /var/log/ <br> <br>I have another folder called exim4, but it is denying me permission to enter it.

Does exim output any errors? Check its error logs: <a href=“http://www.networkredux.com/answers/linux-in-general/mail-and-mailservers/where-are-the-exim-logs”>http://www.networkredux.com/answers/linux-in-general/mail-and-mailservers/where-are-the-exim-logs</a> <br> <br>Are there any errors in there?
