[....] checking combined SMTP listener and queue runner daemon.../etc/init.d/exim4: invalid arguments failed (combined SMTP listener and queue runner daemon failed).
I found the same problem described here: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/11/msg00871.html This error seems to come from te pidofproc call in the init script: # bash -x /etc/init.d/exim4
