Is it a real box or a virtual server?
How exactly did you configure Exim to listen on port 7396? What does your
Exim configuration file say about it?

That's because the web form could not connect to Exim, so Exim has no way
of knowing that it tried and failed. Probably it's not listening on port
7396 on the IP 127.0.0.1. You can check this with "netstat -plant".

I don't think this is the problem, it controls outbound mail *from Exim*,
not mail coming in to Exim.

Doesn't help if it's not listening on that IP and port.
Cheers, Chris.
