Okay, made the changes in /etc/init.d/exim and changed the incantation from 

echo -n "Starting MTA: "
    start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/exim/exim.pid \
                                --exec $DAEMON -- -bd -q30m
                                    echo "exim"

to 

echo -n "Starting MTA: "
    start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/exim/exim.pid \
                                --exec $DAEMON -- -bd
                                    echo "exim."


so exim starts up now with only -bd

Now, this is what I get :(
------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps ax | grep exim
 234 ?        S      0:00 /usr/lib/exim/exim3 -bd
1279 pts/3    S      0:00 grep exim
-----------------------------------

debian:/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/exim restart
Restarting MTA: No /usr/lib/exim/exim3 found running; none killed.
exim.

-----------------------------------

debian:/etc/init.d# ps ax | grep exim
 234 ?        S      0:00 /usr/lib/exim/exim3 -bd
1321 ?        S      0:00 /usr/lib/exim/exim3 -bd
1326 pts/0    S      0:00 grep exim
-----------------------------------

restart is not killing the original exim but is starting up another
instance.

obviously some mistake on my part. What do I do now ?

thanks,

Sharukh.
