Thanks George. I looked in /etc/init.d and found the expected 'exim'
file which starts the exim daemon if it hasn't been started by
/etc/inetd.conf (at least that's my understanding). I noticed, however,
that there was another unexpected file, 'sendmail' which was attempting
to start a sendmail daemon. The date of the file was well before the
date when I installed exim so I assume it was a leftover.

Anyway I have backed-up and deleted this file and so far the mail system
is still working.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
