Hi, Samuel, and thanks:

$ telnet localhost 25
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 debian ESMTP Exim 4.99 Sun, 16 Nov 2025 19:31:00 +0100
^]

As you can see, 'telnet' says port 25 is available for connect,
however, every time service exim4 is stopped and/or started add a new
line 
daemon_notifier_socket bind: Address already in use
to the /var/log/exim4/paniclog file . I'm baffled by this.

Regards.
Jose Luis.
