You are not alone. I had this problem too (actually I have it) but did a
workaround:
In rc.d/exim control script, I added a line:
notify=/var/spool/exim/exim_daemon_notify
Then down the script, I did this:
stop_postcmd()
{
rm -f $pidfile $notify <====== Added the $notify
}
Sometimes I just think it's not worth struggling so much. Maybe one day the
port maintainer will fix it.
