You might also want to look for anything in your cron or anywhere
mentioning running exim with "-bd" at all. Any time that is run with
exim already running or something sitting on that port it will throw
that error. Check absolutely every time you call exim like from a spam
scanning re-injection or any reports using exim to post. The list goes on.
It's there .. just have to find it
