exim

I have EXIM running on a server taht I am trying to decommision (but I still have stuff I need to move off).

$ sudo /etc/init.d/exim4 stop

* Stopping MTA                                                          [ OK ]
* ALERT: exim paniclog /var/log/exim4/paniclog has non-zero size,
            mail system possibly broken

2011-02-01 19:18:37 string too large in smtp_notquit_exit()

How can I stop exim from running, and accepting mail on port 25.
