I'm looking at the srpm to build on rh9. I see some problems.

1) Conflicts: sendmail, postfix, qmail
Obsoletes: sendmail, postfix, qmail

I believe this should be removed, with rh9 we have the alternatives package.

I, along with some other exim srpm authors, use mail for exim user and group,
instead of a seperate exim user. exim user serves no purpose here, and only
causes problems. Also, the srpm should build in any case.
