Shouldn't be inetd; inetd has no 'try again later' message, neither
is it smart enough to know that the service running on port 25 is
named SMTP, capitalized.  (Note: I'm *not* saying it should be made
"smart enough" :)

This is most likely an exim error (the original post does mention
using exim).  It should be covered in the exim documentation.

G'luck,
Peter
