            Bug ID: 1784
           Summary: exim fails to write PID file when alternative ports
                    are specified
           Product: Exim
           Version: 4.80
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: medium
         Component: General execution
          Assignee: nigel@???
          Reporter: developerchris@???
                CC: exim-dev@???

When exim is configured to use ports from the command line a pid file is not
written

When this happens the stop start script fails to stop exim and the new process
fails to bind to the port and therefore exits after multiple retries

The problem occurs if you add the following to /etc/default/exim4 in debian

# options for daemon listening on port 25
SMTPLISTENEROPTIONS='-oX 25:587:465'

in debian this generates a command line similar to this
/usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m -oX 25:587:465

In this circumstance no pid file is written at all
