flush the sendmail queues - ie if mailq is not empty then
try and force the mails off.

you then need to delete sendmail since the rpms should conflict - they
both should provide the pathname /usr/sbin/sendmail for example. If
you don't delete sendmail first then either rpm will not install exim,
or the delete of sendmail might damage the sendmail install

then

in general eximconfig isn't on RH rpms, but depends on the pakcager, so
this

might not work....
