Well, I've installed Exim into /usr/exim, after that I deleted
/usr/sbin/sendmail (at least, the one binary I could find. The rest just
links to there) and replaced it with a soft link to the exim binary.

I did that because I was too lazy to update majordomo's configuration
(which still uses sendmail, at least.. it uses exim now =]). Everything
still works, nothing broke ... so IMO it's okay to do it.
