Hi, I'm getting periodic errors in the paniclog that I can't track down the cause of. I'm running exim on a Debian vserver.
The error is: 2008-03-31 08:20:59 socket bind() to port 25 for address (any IPv4) failed: Address already in use: daemon abandoned The symptom are very similar to http://www.exim-users.org/forums/showthread.php?t=48217 although I'm not restricting it to localhost. Once the paniclog is cleared 'invoke-rc.d exim4 restart' reports no errors and mail works. I tried 'netstat -pa | grep smtp' as mentioned in the forum post abve and it returns nothing at all. Any pointers would be much appreciated, I've included the content of the debian update-exim4.conf.conf is below.
