I think so. At leastwhen I run 'do netstat -tlpn | grep :25', I see:
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:25            0.0.0.0:* LISTEN      22669/exim4
until exim4 quits since it can't connect to port 25 leaving this:
    socket bind() to port 25 for address ::1 failed:
        Cannot assign requested address: daemon abandoned
in /var/log/exim4/paniclog.

Can anyone suggest what's necessary to connect to port 25?
I've compared a month old backups copy of /etc/* to what's there today
but see no differences that would account for losing the ability
to grab email.
Thanks,

Sorry,
