Those show that Exim is only listening on localhost on IPv4. 127.0.0.1 is the
IPv4 localhost address, :: is the "listening to everything" in6addr_any
IPv6 address, equivalent to the IPv4 0.0.0.0 INADDR_ANY.
If the facility to do so is available, Exim marks IPv6 sockets to only
receive IPv6 connections.
Whatever you did to start listening on all addresses was incomplete.
