I cannot download your attachment, but I will try again later. Anyway, I
have already disabled sendmail in the startup scripts, but why do I have to
symlink those files? If I put the path to the executable in the rc.local
file, will it automatically restart if it gets killed somehow or can I put
it in inittab instead so it stays running.
Thanks,
Jeremy

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.
