Basically, something like: kill -1 `cat /path/to/exim.pid`
will get you going if that signal results in a re-reading
of network interface configuration. If not, and you will
quickly notice this ;) , you can still use your OSs rc
scripts for restarting exim. And if you use this system as
official MX please by all means get hold on a static IP
address.
