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.

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

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  actively encourages
running it under inet.d, which is a bloody shame.

[22:31:15 /tmp]$ ps axf | grep exim
 5533 ttyp3S  0:00  |   \_ grep exim
[22:43:38 /tmp]$

As far as I know, the defualt setup is to have exim running only when it is 
needed. i.e, it might not run in daemon mode on your machine. There for, you 
probably do not need to do anything in order to have your changes take effect.

I use:
# /etc/init.d/exim restart

Alternatively, you can try:
# kill -HUP `pidof exim`

or even
# killall -HUP exim

you are probably starting it with "inetd"!
"ps auxc|grep inetd" should give you the pid.

How do you restart exim after changing exim.conf?  The manual says to
send the daemon process a SIGHUP signal, but I can't find the daemon
process pid.
