+.SH NAME
+exicyclog \- Cycle exim's logfiles
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B eximcyclog
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B exicyclog
+script can be used to cycle (rotate)
+.I mainlog
+and
+.I rejectlog
+files.
+This is not necessary if only syslog is being used.
+Some operating systems have their own standard mechanisms for log cycling,
+and these can be used instead of
+.B exicyclog
+if preferred.
+
+Each time
+.B exicyclog
+is run the file names get \(oqshuffled down\(cq by one.
+If the main log file name is mainlog (the default) then when
+.B exicyclog
+is run mainlog becomes mainlog.01, the previous mainlog.01 becomes mainlog.02
+and so on, up to a limit which is set in the script, and which defaults to 10.
+Reject logs are handled similarly.
+
+If no mainlog file exists, the script does nothing.
+Files that \(oqdrop off\(cq the end are deleted.
+All files with numbers greater than 01 are compressed, using a compression
+command which is configured by the COMPRESS_COMMAND setting in
+Local/Makefile.
+It is usual to run \(lqexicyclog\(rq daily from a root \(lqcrontab\(rq entry
+of the form
+
+ 1 0 * * * su exim \-c /usr/exim/bin/exicyclog
+
+assuming you have used the name \(oqexim\(cq for the Exim user.
+You can run
+.B exicyclog
+as root if you wish, but there is no need.

+.SH NAME
+EXIGREP \- Search Exim's main log
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B exigrep
+.I [\-l] pattern [log file] ...
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B exigrep
+utility is a Perl script that searches one or more main log files for
+entries that match a given pattern.
+When it finds a match, it extracts all the log entries for the relevant
+message, not just those that match the pattern.
+Thus,
+.B exigrep
+can extract complete log entries for a given message, or all mail for a given
+user, or for a given host, for example.
+
+The
+.I \-l
+flag means \(oqliteral\(cq, that is, treat all characters in the pattern as
+standing for themselves.
+Otherwise the pattern must be a Perl regular expression.
+The pattern match is case-insensitive.
+If no file names are given on the command line, the standard input is
+read.
+
+If the location of a
+.B zcat
+command is known from the definition of ZCAT_COMMAND in Local/Makefile,
+.B exigrep
+automatically passes any file whose
+name ends in COMPRESS_SUFFIX through
+.B zcat
+as it searches it.

+.SH NAME
+exim_checkaccess \- Check address acceptance from given IP
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B exim_checkaccess
+.I IP-address email@address [more Exim options]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B Exim's
+.I \-bh
+command line argument allows you to run a fake SMTP session with debugging
+output, in order to check what Exim is doing when it is applying policy
+controls to incoming SMTP mail.
+However, not everybody is sufficiently familiar with the SMTP protocol to
+be able to make full use of \-bh, and sometimes you just want to answer the
+question \(lqDoes this address have access?\(rq without bothering with any
+further details.
+
+The
+.B exim_checkaccess
+utility is a \(oqpackaged\(cq version of
+.I \-bh.
+It takes two arguments, an IP address and an email address:
+
+ exim_checkaccess 10.9.8.7 A.User@a.domain.example
+
+The utility runs a call to
+.B Exim
+with the \-bh option, to test whether the given email address would be
+accepted in a RCPT command in a TCP/IP connection from the host with the
+given IP address.
+The output of the utility is either the word \(oqaccepted\(cq, or the SMTP error
+response, for example:
+
+ Rejected:
+ 550 Relay not permitted
+
+When running this test, the utility uses \(lq<>\(rq as the envelope sender
+address for the MAIL command, but you can change this by providing additional
+options. These are passed directly to the Exim command.
+For example, to specify that the test is to be run with the sender address
+\(lqhimself@there.example\(rq you can use:
+
+ exim_checkaccess 10.9.8.7 A.User@a.domain.example \\
+ \-f himself@there.example
+
+Note that these additional Exim command line items must be given after the
+two mandatory arguments.

+.SH NAME
+exim_db \- Manage Exim's hint databases (exim_dumpdb, exim_fixdb, exim_tidydb)
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B exim_dumpdb
+.I spooldir database
+.br
+.B exim_fixdb
+.I spooldir database
+.br
+.B exim_tidydb
+.I [\-f] [\-t time] spooldir database
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Three utility programs are provided for maintaining the DBM files that
+Exim uses to contain its delivery hint information.
+Each program requires two arguments.
+The first specifies the name of Exim's spool directory, and the second is
+the name of the database it is to operate on.
+These are as follows:
+.TP
+.B retry
+the database of retry information
+.TP
+.B wait\-<transport name>
+databases of information about messages waiting for remote hosts
+.TP
+.B misc
+other hints data (for example, for serializing ETRN runs)
+.P
+The entire contents of a database are written to the standard output by the
+.B exim_dumpdb
+program, which has no options or arguments other than the spool
+and database names.
+For example, to dump the retry database:
+
+.I exim_dumpdb /var/spool/exim retry
+
+Two lines of output are produced for each entry:
+.nf
+ T:mail.ref.example:192.168.242.242 146 77 Connection refused
+ 31-Oct-1995 12:00:12 02-Nov-1995 12:21:39 02-Nov-1995 20:21:39 *
+
+.fi
+The first item on the first line is the key of the record.
+It starts with one of the letters R, or T, depending on whether it refers
+to a routing or transport retry.
+For a local delivery, the next part is the local address; for a remote
+delivery it is the name of the remote host, followed by its failing IP
+address (unless \(lqno_retry_include_ip_address\(rq is set on the smtp
+transport).
+Then there follows an error code, an additional error code, and a
+textual description of the error.
+
+The three times on the second line are the time of first failure, the time of
+the last delivery attempt, and the computed time for the next attempt.
+The line ends with an asterisk if the cutoff time for the last retry rule
+has been exceeded.
+
+Each output line from
+.B exim_dumpdb
+for the
+.I wait\-xxx
+databases consists of a host name followed by a list of ids for messages
+that are or were waiting to be delivered to that host.
+If there are a very large number for any one host, continuation records,
+with a sequence number added to the host name, may be seen.
+The data in these records is often out of date, because a message may be
+routed to several alternative hosts, and Exim makes no effort to keep
+cross-references.
+
+The
+.B exim_tidydb
+utility program is used to tidy up the contents of the hints databases.
+If run with no options, it removes all records from a database that are
+more than 30 days old.
+The cutoff date can be altered by means of the \-t option, which must be
+followed by a time.
+For example, to remove all records older than a week from the retry
+database:
+
+.I exim_tidydb \-t 7d /var/spool/exim retry
+
+Both the
+.I wait\-xxx
+and
+.I retry
+databases contain items that involve message ids.
+In the former these appear as data in records keyed by host - they were
+messages that were waiting for that host - and in the latter they are the
+keys for retry information for messages that have suffered certain types
+of error.
+When \(lqexim_tidydb\(rq is run, a check is made to ensure that message ids in
+database records are those of messages that are still on the queue.
+Message ids for messages that no longer exist are removed from \(lqwait\-\(rqxxx
+records, and if this leaves any records empty, they are deleted.
+For the \(lqretry\(rq database, records whose keys are non-existent message
+ids are removed.
+The
+.B exim_tidydb
+utility outputs comments on the standard output whenever it removes
+information from the database.
+
+Removing records from a DBM file does not normally make the file smaller, but
+all the common DBM libraries are able to re-use the space that is released.
+It is therefore suggested that
+.B exim_tidydb
+be run periodically on all the hints databases, but at a quiet time of day,
+because it requires a database to be locked (and therefore inaccessible to
+Exim) while it does its work.
+
+The
+.B exim_fixdb
+program is a utility for interactively modifying databases.
+Its main use is for testing Exim, but it might also be occasionally useful
+for getting round problems in a live system.
+It has no options, and its interface is somewhat crude.
+On entry, it prompts for input with a right angle-bracket.
+A key of a database record can then be entered, and the data for that
+record is displayed.
+
+If \(oqd\(cq is typed at the next prompt, the entire record is deleted.
+For all except the
+.I retry
+database, that is the only operation that can be carried out.
+For the
+.I retry
+database, each field is output preceded by a number, and data for individual
+fields can be changed by typing the field number followed by new data, for
+example:
+
+ > 4 951102:1000
+
+resets the time of the next delivery attempt.
+Time values are given as a sequence of digit pairs for year, month, day,
+hour, and minute.
+Colons can be used as optional separators.

+.SH NAME
+exim_dbmbuild \- Build a DBM file.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B exim_dbmbuild
+.I [\-nolc] [\-nozero] [\-noduperr] [\-nowarn] inputfile|\- outputfile
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B exim_dbmbuild
+program reads an input file containing keys and data in
+the format used by the
+.I lsearch
+lookup (see section 9.1).
+It writes a DBM file using the lower-cased alias names as keys and the
+remainder of the information as data.
+The lower-casing can be prevented by calling the program with the
+.I \-nolc
+option.
+
+A terminating zero is included as part of the key string.
+This is expected by the dbm lookup type.
+However, if the option
+.I \-nozero
+is given,
+.B exim_dbmbuild
+creates files without terminating zeroes in either the key strings or the
+data strings.
+The
+.I dbmnz
+lookup type can be used with such files.
+
+The program requires two arguments: the name of the input file (which can
+be a single hyphen to indicate the standard input), and the name of the
+output file.
+It creates the output under a temporary name, and then renames it if all
+went well.
+If the native DB interface is in use (USE_DB is set in a compile-time
+configuration file - this is common in free versions of Unix) the two file
+names must be different, because in this mode the Berkeley DB functions
+create a single output file using exactly the name given.
+For example,
+
+ exim_dbmbuild /etc/aliases /etc/aliases.db
+
+reads the system alias file and creates a DBM version of it in
+/etc/aliases.db.
+
+In systems that use the
+.I ndbm
+routines (mostly proprietary versions of Unix), two files are used, with the
+suffixes .dir and .pag.
+In this environment, the suffixes are added to the second argument of
+.B exim_dbmbuild,
+so it can be the same as the first.
+This is also the case when the Berkeley functions are used in
+compatibility mode (though this is not recommended), because in that case
+it adds a .db suffix to the file name.
+
+If a duplicate key is encountered, the program outputs a warning, and when
+it finishes, its return code is 1 rather than zero, unless the
+.I \-noduperr
+option is used.
+By default, only the first of a set of duplicates is used - this makes it
+compatible with lsearch lookups.
+There is an option
+.I \-lastdup
+which causes it to use the data for the last duplicate instead.
+There is also an option
+.I \-nowarn,
+which stops it listing duplicate keys to \(lqstderr\(rq.
+For other errors, where it doesn't actually make a new file, the return
+code is 2.

+.SH NAME
+exim_lock \- Mailbox maintenance
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B exim_lock
+.RI [ options ] mailbox-file
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B exim_lock
+utility locks a mailbox file using the same algorithm as Exim.
+For a discussion of locking issues, see section 25.2.
+.B exim_lock
+can be used to prevent any modification of a mailbox by Exim or a user
+agent while investigating a problem.
+The utility requires the name of the file as its first argument.
+If the locking is successful, the second argument is run as a command
+(using C's \(lqsystem()\(rq function); if there is no second argument, the value
+of the SHELL environment variable is used; if this is unset or empty,
+/bin/sh is run.
+When the command finishes, the mailbox is unlocked and the utility ends.
+The following options are available:
+.TP
+.I \-fcntl
+Use \(lqfcntl()\(rq locking on the open mailbox.
+.TP
+.I \-interval
+This must be followed by a number, which is a number of seconds; it
+sets the interval to sleep between retries (default 3).
+.TP
+.I \-lockfile
+Create a lock file before opening the mailbox.
+.TP
+.I \-mbx
+Lock the mailbox using MBX rules.
+.TP
+.I \-q
+Suppress verification output.
+.TP
+.I \-retries
+This must be followed by a number; it sets the number of times to try
+to get the lock (default 10).
+.TP
+.I \-timeout
+This must be followed by a number, which is a number of seconds; it
+sets a timeout to be used with a blocking \(lqfcntl()\(rq lock.
+If it is not set (the default), a non-blocking call is used.
+.TP
+.I \-v
+Generate verbose output.
+
+If none of
+.I \-fcntl, \-lockfile
+or
+.I \-mbx
+are given, the default is to create a lock file and also use \(lqfcntl()\(rq locking
+on the mailbox, which is the same as
+.B Exim's
+default.
+The use of
+.I \-fcntl
+requires that the file be writable; the use
+of
+.I \-lockfile
+requires that the directory containing the file be writable.
+Locking by lock file does not last for ever; Exim assumes that a lock file
+is expired if it is more than 30 minutes old.
+
+The
+.I \-mbx
+option is mutually exclusive with
+.I \-fcntl.
+It causes a shared lock to be taken out on the open mailbox, and an
+exclusive lock on the file /tmp/.n.m where n and m are the device number
+and inode number of the mailbox file.
+When the locking is released, if an exclusive lock can be obtained for the
+mailbox, the file in /tmp is deleted.
+
+The default output contains verification of the locking that takes place.
+The
+.I \-v
+option causes some additional information to be given.
+The
+.I \-q
+option suppresses all output except error messages.
+.PP
+A command such as
+
+ exim_lock /var/spool/mail/spqr
+
+runs an interactive shell while the file is locked, whereas
+
+ exim_lock \-q /var/spool/mail/spqr <<End
+ <some commands>
+ End
+
+runs a specific non-interactive sequence of commands while the file is
+locked, suppressing all verification output.
+A single command can be run by a command such as
+
+ exim_lock \-q /var/spool/mail/spqr \
+ "cp /var/spool/mail/spqr /some/where"
+
+Note that if a command is supplied, it must be entirely contained within
+the second argument - hence the quotes.

+.SH NAME
+exinext \- Finding individual retry times
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B exinext
+.I address|message-id
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+A utility called
+.B exinext
+(mostly a Perl script) provides the ability to fish specific information
+out of the retry database.
+Given a mail domain (or a complete address), it looks up the hosts for
+that domain, and outputs any retry information for the hosts or for the
+domain.
+At present, the retry information is obtained by running
+.B exim_dumpdb
+(see below) and processing the output.
+For example:
+
+ exinext piglet@milne.fict.example
+ kanga.milne.fict.example:192.168.8.1 error 146: Connection refused
+ first failed: 21-Feb-1996 14:57:34
+ last tried: 21-Feb-1996 14:57:34
+ next try at: 21-Feb-1996 15:02:34
+ roo.milne.fict.example:192.168.8.3 error 146: Connection refused
+ first failed: 20-Jan-1996 13:12:08
+ last tried: 21-Feb-1996 11:42:03
+ next try at: 21-Feb-1996 19:42:03
+ past final cutoff time
+
+You can also give
+.B exinext
+a local part, without a domain, and it will give any retry information for
+that local part in your default domain.
+A message id can be used to obtain retry information pertaining to a
+specific message.
+This exists only when an attempt to deliver a message to a remote host
+suffers a message-specific error (see section 42.2).
+.B exinext
+is not particularly efficient, but then it isn't expected to be run very often.

+.SH NAME
+exiqsumm \- Summarising the queue
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B exiqsumm
+.I [\-a] [\-c]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B exiqsumm
+utility is a Perl script which reads the output of
+.I exim \-bp
+and produces a summary of the messages on the queue.
+Thus, you use it by running a command such as
+
+ exim \-bp | exiqsumm
+
+The output consists of one line for each domain that has messages waiting
+for it, as in the following example:
+
+ 3 2322 74m 66m msn.com.example
+
+This lists the number of messages for the domain, their total volume, and
+the length of time that the oldest and the newest messages have been
+waiting.
+By default the output is sorted on the domain name, but
+.B exiqsumm
+has the options
+.I \-a
+and
+.I \-c,
+which cause the output to be sorted by oldest message and by count of
+messages, respectively.
+
+The output of
+.I exim \-bp
+contains the original addresses in the message, so this also applies to
+the output from
+.B exiqsumm.
+No domains from addresses generated by aliasing or forwarding are included
+(unless the \(lqone_time\(rq option of the redirect router has been used to
+convert them into \(oqtop level\(cq addresses).

+.SH NAME
+exiwhat \- Finding out what Exim processes are doing
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B exiwhat
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+On operating systems that can restart a system call after receiving a
+signal (most modern OS), an
+.B Exim
+process responds to the SIGUSR1 signal by writing a line describing what
+it is doing to the file exim\-process.info in the Exim spool directory.
+The
+.B exiwhat
+script sends the signal to all
+.B Exim
+processes it can find, having first emptied the file.
+It then waits for one second to allow the
+.B Exim
+processes to react before displaying the results.
+In order to run
+.B exiwhat
+successfully you have to have sufficient privilege to send the signal to
+the
+.B Exim
+processes, so it is normally run as root.
+
+Unfortunately, the
+.B ps
+command which
+.B exiwhat
+uses to find
+.B Exim
+processes varies in different operating systems.
+Not only are different options used, but the format of the output is
+different.
+For this reason, there are some system configuration options that configure
+exactly how
+.B exiwhat
+works.
+If it doesn't seem to be working for you, check the following compile-time
+options:
+.TP
+.I EXIWHAT_PS_CMD
+the command for running \(lqps\(rq
+.TP
+.I EXIWHAT_PS_ARG
+the argument for \(lqps\(rq
+.TP
+.I EXIWHAT_EGREP_ARG
+the argument for \(lqegrep\(rq to select from \(lqps\(rq output
+.TP
+.I EXIWHAT_KILL_ARG
+the argument for the \(lqkill\(rq command
+.PP
+An example of typical output from
+.B exiwhat
+is
+
+.nf
+ 164 daemon: -q1h, listening on port 25
+10483 running queue: waiting for 0tAycK-0002ij-00 (10492)
+10492 delivering 0tAycK-0002ij-00 to mail.ref.example [10.19.42.42]
+ (editor@ref.example)
+10592 handling incoming call from [192.168.243.242]
+10628 accepting a local non-SMTP message
+.fi
+
+The first number in the output line is the process number.
+The third line has been split here, in order to fit it on the page.
