--- Comment #2 from Andrew Aitchison <exim@???> ---
Ubuntu 20.10
#apt show exim4
Package: exim4

Priority: optional

# sudo service exim4 stop

# ls -lRau /run/exim4
ls: cannot access '/run/exim4': No such file or directory
# sudo service exim4 start

Note the "-oP/run/exim4/exim.pid" option (there is a hidden '\000' before each
'-'),
which suggests this issue is about how the daemon is started in Ubuntu 20.04.
