An alternative scenario could be that the OP's web server has spawned
Exim to do a mail delivery, and that spawned Exim has inherited the
web server's file descriptors... and for some reason the Exim instance
has become long-running.

Don't know why this would 'block' port 80 (whatever that means), though.
