By default exim doesn't run as a daemon, but is started from inetd to
recieve SMTP connections and run periodically to flush the queue. If
you don't want to use exim, you should deinstall it. If you want to use
it, then you should configure it (use /usr/sbin/eximconfig to make
things easy). You probably want to have it set up.
