			== What's Exim Currently Doing? ==

			<code>exitwhat</code> - whows active connections being handled.

			<code>ps -C exim wwwu</code> - list all running exim processes

			<code>lsof -c exim</code> - list of files being accessed by exim


			=== Testing with Telnet ===

			<code>telnet $serverIP $port</code> - (Dovecot port is 143) It should say "OK, Dovecot Ready" or similar

			<code>login $email_to_test $password</code> - It should display information about the mailbox, then "Logged In"

			<code>list ""*</code> - This command should list all folders in the mailbox.

			<code>logout</code> - This logs you out, and closes telnet


			=== Testing SSL mail with OpenSSL ===

			<code>opensss s_client -connect $server_IP</code> - lots of stuff, should say dovecot ready.

			<code>login $email_address_to_test $password</code> - logged in

			<code>list “” *</code> should show e-mail folders

			<code>logout</code> logs out and closes openssl s_client

Exim Settings for RDNS and such

			The easiest method to see a full version of the files with proper syntax is to temporarily enable the following "automatic" option:
			WHM: Main >> Service Configuration >> Exim Configuration Editor >> Standard Options >> Domains and IPs

			(* Automatically send outgoing mail from the account's IP address instead of the main IP address. Warning: If you turn this setting on you should make sure reverse DNS entries match the ones in /etc/mail_reverse_dns)

			The above option will create the files so you can simply view their contents to see how they are used.

			Alternatively, you can manually create them based off the following examples, while being sure to use your own domains and IP addresses where applicable; however, please note that to retain customizations of the two files, mailhelo and mailips, it is necessary to enable the relevant options via the Exim Configuration Editor in WHM as seen below.

			WHM: Main >> Service Configuration >> Exim Configuration Editor >> Standard Options >> Domains and IPs
			* Send HELO based on the domain name in /etc/mailhelo (*: HELONAME can be added to the file to change the default helo name)
			* Send outgoing mail from the ip that matches the domain name in /etc/mailips (*: IP can be added to the file to change the main outgoing interface)

			Full Path: "/etc/mailhelo"
			Code:
			<pre>
			domain2.tld: domain2.tld
			sub.domain2.tld: domain2.tld
			addondomain.tld: domain2.tld
			other.domain3.tld: other.domain3.tld
			*: server1.domain1.tld
			</pre>

			In mailhelo, the example entry that begins with an asterisk sets the default HELO for domains without their own specific entry; you could, if desired, just have the default set and nothing else.

			The "#.#.#.#" entries in the following two examples are meant to represent IP addresses on your system; be sure to use only valid, public IP addresses that are accessible via the Internet.

			Full Path: "/etc/mailips"
			Code:
			<pre>
			domain2.tld: #.#.#.2
			sub.domain2.tld: #.#.#.2
			addondomain.tld: #.#.#.2
			other.domain3.tld: #.#.#.3
			*: #.#.#.1
			</pre>

			In mailips, the example entry that begins with an asterisk sets the default outbound (sending) IP address for domains without their own specific entry; you could, if desired, just have the default set and nothing else.

			You should not have to manually edit or manage the mail_reverse_dns file; the only two that you would manually edit are mailhelo and mailips. For the sake of showing an example, though, here is what the mail_reverse_dns file might look like:

			Full Path: "/etc/mail_reverse_dns"
			Code:
			<pre>
			#.#.#.1: server1.domain1.tld
			#.#.#.2: domain2.tld
			#.#.#.3: other.domain3.tld
			</pre>

			To help understand why the above examples look the way they do, in terms of why a particular domain has a specific HELO value and or why a particular domain has a specific outbound IP, and to help show what you might expect to see from the aforementioned "automatic" option, the following could be assumed:
			1.) "domain2.tld" is a primary domain
			2.) "sub.domain2.tld" is a sub-domain of "domain2.tld"
			3.) "addondomain.tld" is an add-on domain of "domain2.tld"
			4.) "other.domain3.tld" is a also primary domain
			5.) "server1.domain1.tld" is the server hostname

			If you opt to manually create, update and manage the mailhelo and mailips files, you are free to customize them as needed provided they contain the correct syntax and use only valid domains and IP addresses.
