If you have upgraded from pre-3.00 exim postinst script will disable
smtp entry in /etc/inetd.conf. If you are running exim from inetd
you should execute "eximconfig -i" after installation to reenable smtp
service in inetd. This ONLY applies if you are not running exim as daemon.
There was another problem with exim running as daemon. Check old messages
on this list for more info.
