I run debian on my server but I compile exim from upstream source, so I
had to write my own initscript. I append it below; it seems to work
fine for my situation. It starts a combined port 25 daemon and queue
runner.
TBH, I don't use rotating logs with Exim; instead I use the setting that
makes it log into a file named after the current year and month. So the
reloading function in the initscript doesn't get much testing.
