You might also want to look for anything in your cron or anywhere mentioning running exim with "-bd" at all. Any time that is run with exim already running or something sitting on that port it will throw that error. Check absolutely every time you call exim like from a spam scanning re-injection or any reports using exim to post. The list goes on. It's there .. just have to find it -- The Exim Manual http://www.exim.org/docs.html http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/index.html -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
