Hey… here is a way to find the message we have sent is COMPLETED or NOT by using “exigrep”. Yep, it’s very useful in some cases, if the client wants to know the email from his account successfully completed or not from the server. Here, we can find out the message ID from the log file and and then we can simply check that particular email completed or not by using exigrep.
Usage:
[root@server]# exigrep 1VT5LJ-0006uV-S1 /var/log/exim_mainlog|grep -i "Completed"
2013-10-07 11:35:04 1VT5LJ-0006uV-S1 Completed
[root@server]# exigrep 1VT4Za-0001Dy-3v /var/log/exim_mainlog|grep -i "Completed"
+++ 1VT4Za-0001Dy-3v has not completed +++
Here “1VT5LJ-0006uV-S1” & “1VT4Za-0001Dy-3v” are message IDs.
If you wand to list all emails status for a particular sender, then change the message ID with that particular emai ID.
exigrep [email protected] /var/log/exim_mainlog|grep -i “Completed”
How is it .. 😀

Hey Arun,
I had recently came to see this site and I must say you are rocking 🙂
The site is simply superb and informative.I am also working in the same industry and all most the issues you have explained in the article are relevant. I have a small suggestion to the above explained command.
It will be better to use the email address instead of message ID right ?? like,
[root@server]# exigrep [email protected] /var/log/exim_mainlog|grep -i “Completed”
So that you will get the list completed emails from the account.
This is just my opinion. Any ways ALL THE BEST AND KEEP POSTING 🙂
Hi Ninoy,
I am very glad to see your comment. Yep, you are correct. That will list all email details from that particular sender.
