I used to have my own sysvinit bit for exim (on Linux), and I'll
immodestly say that it was a wonder of clarity compared to most of the
other sysvinit scripts out there, even those in distros.
But, no more. Now I run exim from supervisor:
http://supervisord.org/
Here's the config bit:
[program:exim]
directory = /var/spool/exim
user = root
command = /usr/local/bin/exim -bdf -q20m
environment = PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin"
stdout_logfile = /var/log/supervisor/exim-stdout.log
stderr_logfile = /var/log/supervisor/exim-stderr.log
