Find logins in log

grep "A=login" /var/log/exim/mainlog

hostname --fqdn did not return a fully qualified name

fix /etc/hosts etc, but if hostname -f/--fqdn fails, run hostname mail.example.com and save yourself a lot of headache

Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname

Make sure your FQDN/IP are ok in /etc/hosts


Message is frozen

Mail can't be delivered locally, check storage.
