Hmm, make no difference (unfortunately).
If I start Exim as daemon (I don't use inetd, want only send not recieve mail),
I'm getting this error (which is from another line in the source code):

$ exim -bd -d2

LOG: 0 PANIC DIE
cannot find smtp/tcp service

If I start it with -oX 25 then it doesn't look up the port for smtp at first,
but later, when there is a message to send (it looks again (after fork)):
Why is the port for smtp looked up twice?
Maybe it changes itself on the fly?

I am sure now.

P.S.: Is it usual in this list to answer private and to 'not CC'
to the list?
