Exim Problem: exim dead but subsys locked

[max2000]

Hi,

Do you know how I can solve this problem:

[root@server /]# service exim status
exim dead but subsys locked

Exim refuses to start on a server with Debian. May be I have install it again. Do you know hot I can re-install exim?

Thank you for your help.

Athough it's for a different service, the same resolution will probably still apply.
