View the body and/or header of a queued exim message

If you already know the email’s ID (if you dont: Review Exim’s Queue), printing the header and/or body information is simple!

For this example, we’ll use ‘1XSY5g-0001kh-N6’ as the email ID but this ID is unique to each email message – yours will be different.

Email headers

For the email header, from your terminal, perform the following command:

exim -Mvh 1XSY5g-0001kh-N6

Email body

For the email body, the command is similar. Just using a ‘b’ for body, rather than ‘h’ from the previous command:

exim -Mvb 1XSY5g-0001kh-N6
