This looks as though you're trying to start Exim with a Sendmail init
script. Try starting Exim with:
exim -bd -q30m
from the commandline as root. If that works (check exim is in the
process listing) modify the rc script to execute the command above -
substituting the full path to the exim command as necessary. Better
still use an rc script specifically for your OS.
