If you don't trust pre-packaged RPMs and/or want to use your own options,
you can achieve the best of both worlds by compiling/installing "from
source" using an RPM spec file to build the resulting files into your very
own custom RPM, adjusting to suit your exact preferences/needs.
You can obtain one from Nigel's SRPMs or there are other variants around
including Karl Schmidt's one at
http://xtronics.com/exim/ and mine at
http://www.timj.co.uk/linux/exim.php , the latter of which I will be more
than happy to help you use if you run into any difficulties. (I built mine
originally because I wanted the flexibility of building from source, but
the ease-of-management of RPMs...not sure how much different it is from
Nigel's these days - I must check it out in detail sometime.)
