Not a sausage....
The
pid 568: SIGHUP received: re-exec daemon
is there. However the (normally) following
exim daemon started: pid=21231, -q15m, listening for SMTP on port 25

No other log had anything in it.
Is exim trying to bind to the SMTP port and finding something there
already??

well there is a syn attack patch in the main network set, everything else
is rather more general.
