[jmstacey]

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
./squirrelmail.sh

That should install the original version that DirectAdmin did during the first installation.

Did you run the squirrelmail.sh script? As far as I know it does nothing to exim.
Is email working now? Has it ever worked on your server? What did you do right before it stopped working?

My first suggestion would be to always use restart for exim from the command line, and never use start; that way you won't accidentally try to start two instances of the main exim process.

Second, I'd suggest stopping exim through the control panel over and over again until it shows no running PIDs (process IDs). Then restart exim from the control panel.

Then, if it doesn't run, check the values of the /etc/eixm.conf file.

What is the output of:

$ ls /etc/exim.conf

(where you do NOT type the $ sign; it's simply an indication that you can do it as a non-root (or root) user.)
