Betreff: RE: [exim] Exim local_interfaces problem
You know, its strange, it does look like two are trying to run

mailnull  5152  0.0  0.0  6020 1816 ?        SN   23:30   0:00
/usr/sbin/exim -bd -q60m
mailnull  5189  0.0  0.0  6028 1844 ?        SN   23:30   0:00
/usr/sbin/exim -bd -q60m


But it only does that when I add local_interfaces. If I comment out
local_interfaces and start exim, I just get one

mailnull  4800  0.0  0.0  6024 1804 ?        SN   23:28   0:00
/usr/sbin/exim -bd -q60m


Do you have any idea why it would start two? Does it start one per port
maybe?

Look for something (maybe an old Exim) running and already bound to port 25.
'netstat -pa | grep smtp' might show you what it is.
