Re: [Exim] 2003-07-30 11:28:47 socket bind() to port 25 for …

I'd check you aren't already running another MTA i.e. Sendmail (or
another exim instance) on that port already.

Close down your exim and run `nmap 127.0.0.1` to check if anything is
running on port 25. If there is something then close it down and re-run
exim.
