+!!! Testing a new config file before putting it live.
+
+JohnMcPherson pointed out the following useful tips:
+
+If you're using Debian's split configuration setup, you can generate a new configuration file to a temporary location with:
+<pre>
+ $ update-exim4.conf -o ~~/exim4.test.config
+</pre>
+
+Then you can test the routing of that config without touching your running server using
+<pre>
+ $ exim -C ~~/exim4.test.config -bt user@host.com
+</pre>
+
+If it's not working how you intended, then ramp up the debugging and get all the details
+<pre>
+ $ exim -d+all -C ~~/exim4.test.config -bt user@host.com < /dev/null
+</pre>
