Is there really anything useful left which exim can't do? UUCP bang paths are the only limitation I can think of off the cuff, and hopefully noone uses those. Exim can do UUCP with domain addressing though, if anyone still uses UUCP.
Yes, I have a few sites that require it.... but then I also know how to 'yum install sendmail' too, as I'm sure just about everyone who uses UUCP does, or else compiles sendmail themsleves.
This would put me in the "just not about everyone" group as I use postfix and UUCP. It was really easy to setup, but I might have to try out something different for more effective anti-spam stuff.
