Yes, exim is listening on port 25, and that's all.

It's a single box, that is online 24/7/365, it's a debian woody, fixed IP,
with exim running on port 25. It's hosting some virtual web servers, ftp,
ssh, pop3, bind. # of users is around 20, from which only 3 are able to
log in via ssh. As I said, the MTA is exim, so I receive mail directly.
I still don't know how is it possible that the Received line is this
short. Usually it consists of more Received entrys (eg. one saying the
outgoing mail server of the sender's host received the mail from the
sender, and one that says my box reveived it). The only reason I can think
of is that I'm the outgoing mail server of the sender, though this is
impossible, because exim is told not to relay outgoing mail for other
hosts.
Any clues?
