Sorry. That is not the log. That is a debugging run transcript.
Depending on how you set things up, there is a file something like
/var/spool/exim/logs/exim_mainlog
which should have some record of your attempt to send mail using
Eudora and what exim thought about it.

That seems unlikely to be correct, but I don't know about OpenBSD
start-ups and what mailer.rc actually does.

As I said in my previous message, there are two ways for something to
listen to a port, one is through inetd (and configured in inetd.conf) and
the other is for the program to natively listen as a daemon, bound to a
port. You cannot do things both ways for the same port.
Just comment out the inetd.conf stuff for exim (and don't forget to HUP
inetd). It appears that you are running exim as a daemon.
