Hey,

first do a
which sendmail

you will see, where your sendmail binary lives
in my case it was /usr/sbin/sendmail

kill your sendmail:
killall sendmail

now backup your sendmail binary
mv /usr/sbin/sendmail /sbin/sendmail.org

now make a symlink from the exim binary to the old sendmail location
ln -s /where/your/exim/binary/lives/exim /usr/sbin/sendmail

start "sendmail"

that should be all

... but only my 2 cents (on a suse distro)

Greetings Torsten
