The code that follows the final debug, which refers to line 900 in the
daemon.c module, is code that sorts out the ports and interfaces for the
daemon. So there is presumably some problem in that code, or in the
functions that it calls. The code for finding all the available
interfaces is very system-dependent and has given trouble in the past.
Try:
(1) Set daemon_smtp_ports=25 If that works, the problem is in
translating "smtp" to 25 using the /etc/services file.
(2) Set local_interfaces to your IP address so that Exim doesn't have to
find it for itself. If that works, the problem is in the function that
does the lookup.
(3) If neither of those work, the only way to debug this is to insert a
number of statements of the form
debug_printf("+++ Got here %d\n", __LINE__);
into the code of daemon.c to get some more tracing of which lines of
code it gets to before crashing.
