All from spec.txt:
One thing that cannot be tested on a system that is already running a mailer
is the receipt of incoming SMTP mail on the standard SMTP port. However, the
-oX option can be used to run an Exim daemon that listens on some other port,
or "inetd" can be used to do this. The -bh option can be used to check out any
policy controls on incoming SMTP mail.
-bd Run Exim as a daemon, awaiting incoming SMTP connections. This option
can be used only by an admin user. If either of the -d or -dm options
are set, the daemon does not disconnect from the controlling terminal.
By default, Exim listens for incoming connections on all the host's
interfaces, but it can be restricted to specific interfaces by setting
the "local_interfaces" option in the configuration file. The standard
SMTP port is used, but this can be varied by means of the
"daemon_smtp_port" configuration option or the -oX command line option.
Most commonly, the -bd option is combined with the -q<time> option, to
cause periodic queue runs to happen as well.
-oX <number>
This option is relevant only when the -bd option is also given. It
overrides any setting of the "daemon_smtp_port" option, and specifies
an alternative TCP/IP port number for the listening daemon. When used,
the process number of the daemon is written to a file whose name is
"exim-daemon.<number>.pid" in Exim's spool directory or the directory
specified by PID_FILE_PATH in Local/Makefile.
