RedHat 8.0 ships with either Sendmail or PostFix installed. So to make exim
take over completely for mail delivery, follow the steps below:

1) run ntsysv to disable Any of Sendmail, PostFix, or anything labeled mta.
2) symlink the exim binary to the following points:
a) /usr/lib/sendmail
b) /usr/sbin/sendmail
3) If you want to control Exim with a script that will load it during boot
as part of the boot-up sequence, use the script I've attached. Otherwise
just call the exim binary from a startup script like rc.local with the
correct parameters. For example, to have it listen on port 25 and scan the
Queue every 30 minutes, it's exim -bd -q30m

That's about it.
