Well, for one thing exim (and smail) are a hell of a lot easier to configure than sendmail. That was what originally moved me towards exim at work - I really didn't want to muck about fixing numerous broken sendmail setups when in far less time I could just switch all the machines over to exim with a more capable configuration that actually worked properly. :-) This of course has nothing to do with Linux per se; these were all SGI boxes, but it's why I initially got interested in exim. I then made the debian package since I wanted the same MTA on all the systems I administer. I am pleased to see that exim is gaining some popularity. I shall expend some effort over the next few days in correcting some of the outstanding bugs in the package; I have been rather busy of late fighting with Silicon Graphics over broken hardware...
