Severity: normal

When using inetd to spawn an SMTPS server, exim refuses to start because
it only looks for ^smtp in inetd.conf. It should look for "^smtp " to
exclude ^smtps. Attached is a very simple patch to do so.

Actually, I consider this behavior a feature. How can we assume that
the user wants to run an SMTP daemon, if an SMTPS daemon is started
from inetd? It is clearly documented that you're on your own if you
use inetd, and we fail to the safe side: Not running an SMTP daemon.

I am thus closing the bug.

The canonical way of running smtps is giving appropriate options to
the daemon to have it listen on SMTP and SMTPS ports.

Greetings
Marc
