The same way you run sendmail as a daemon. Look at that set up, and do
something parallel. It really depends on how start-up scripts are
set on your system.

On my home machine, I have

/etc/rc.d/init.d/exim

which is modelled after the one that came for sendmail.

generally

exim -bd

will set up a listining daemon.

(just as with sendmail)

-j
