Something akin to the following should work...

# cp /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail-OLD
# find /etc/rc.d/ -name sendmail -print > $HOME/file
# rpm -remove --force --doitdammit --yesIfuckingmeanit sendmail
# cd /etc/rc.d/init.d
# cp /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail-OLD exim

Make sure all the links are set up as they were when sendmail was
there.. they are all in the $HOME/file place.

Check that everything in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/exim is linked to
something that works.

# reboot

Exim should now be starting.
