It can, and the default potato install runs it that way, but it need
not and I would recommend running it aw as a daemon if you have any
sort of noticable mail load.  Of course the fact that Exim is not
built against TCP Wrappers in potato sigh actively encourages
running it under inet.d, which is a bloody shame.

Generally it runs from inetd, so you wont have to restart it.

Let me rephrase my statement.

Don't forget to restart exim if you're running it as a daemon.

I'll leave the discussion of daemon vs inetd to someone else.
