I did a reboot for my system and exim stopped working. I'm not sure what went wrong…

tail /var/log/exim/main.log

cat /etc/hosts.allow 

sshd:ALL
sendmail:ALL
mail:ALL

etc/init.d/exim status

Section 8 of http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-building_and_installing_exim.html

Basically, change the "sendmail" to "exim".
