I'm having a problem with exim 4.10-1 rpm running on RH 7.3 (2.4.18-3). I'm
still learning linux in general so I'm not sure where to look and what to
do. When I check the status of the exim daemon I see:
/sbin/service exim restart
Shutting down exim: [FAILED]
Starting exim: [ OK ]
/sbin/service exim status
exim dead but pid file exists
I have changed /etc/sysconfig/exim from:
DAEMON="no"
QUEUE="15m"
to
DAEMON="yes"
QUEUE="15m"
I have seen a test command in a previous post which I ran and saw other errors:
/usr/sbin/exim -bd -q15m -d+all-memory-load-queue_run-process_info

I have checked all the log files and they belong to the exim user and
group. I have added exim to the mail group. Could the issue be:
