netstat -l -n -p |grep 25

^ that should tell you what's listening on port 25.

Normally clamav will return an 'access denied' error when it doesn't have
access to the /var/spool/exim/scan directory, but you may want to check
the permissions anyway. I have ClamAV running as the same user as exim so
it can scan exim mails. Not sure if this is the most ideal method, though.
