How to get log to show details of rejected relay?

I have been working on getting a windows machine
to relay mail through my Debian server with exim4.
I have reconfigured exim to relay mail
from the computers on the network, but exim
continues to not allow relays. The logs show that
the relay was refused but I need a more detailed
explanation.

How do I get the logs to give detailed explanation
for refusing a relay?

Either you start exim in "Debug Mode" (Option -D), or you simulate
your SMTP session calling "exim -bh" with the IP address of the client
as argument. Just give it a try.

I tried the exim -bh command, but that gives no more
information than the logs.

What about starting exim in debug mode?

When exim answers "relaying denied" there is probably something wrong
with your RCPT_TO ACL.

And, please, don't top post.
