eximconfig was broken in 3.02-1; try 3.02-2 (or 3.02-3 which I'm about to
release). The conversion does work, but you need to check it's output first
as there is the odd thing it can't cope with.
There was another problem, related to the IPv6 support. If you didn't have
IPv6 in your kernel, then the attempt to open the listen socket as AF_INET6
failed. This doesn't affect people using inetd.
I will be fixing this so if the socket call fails it tries opening it as
AF_INET, using the following patch:
