Exim 4.12
RedHat 8.0
This morning I got a Nagios alert that my web server was timing out on
port 80. After shutting down httpd and trying to restart it I realized
that exim was listening on port 80 for some reason. Below is some output
from commands I was running on the box. The only other mention I found
of this problem was at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/exim-users/message/41359
[root@student root]# telnet localhost 80
