Maybe you want to check the branch hs/systemd-units, there I started to collect my effort to provide native systemd units for Exim. I'd be happy if we can join our efforts. Regarding your question: I think, "exec" is the right answer for the current Exim versions. (Somewhen I started working on "Type=notify", but that's nothing that's ready yet.) -- Heiko
