I don't run it as a daemon when it's in inetd. Ive tried both, with
the other disabled, as a test.
In inetd I have
smtp            stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/exim in.exim -bs


and when that doesn't work I try it as a daemon and do:

/usr/sbin/exim -bd -q15m at the bash line.
Which makes it run as a daemon.

I do not do both. I don't care which I use, as long as one works.
