I believe it uses port 25 to talk even internally. What you can do, short of using an IPChains/Tables rule to deny external port 25 traffic, is to set the "local_interface" option in exim's config file. Set it to only lo and it'll only talk to the loopback device internally.
For more info consult the manpage. I don't run exim or I'd try to provide further info on the config file.

This may be a better question for another list. I am building a firewall for my home LAN. I have exim configured for local delivery only (the only thing I want it to do is move email from root to another userid). Even though I have configured exim for only local delivery, the exim daemon is still listening on port 25. Is there a flag I can use when starting up Exim so that it won't listen on port 25?
