I guess I see it as an advantage because you are shortening
the process and possible places it can break.

SMTP with whatever language you want :) -> Exim

Pipe with whatever language (is the language/script configured right?
IE path to sendmail, sendmail options, permissions, etc...)->
sendmail (is it linked to Exim properly? Etc Etc -> Exim


It seems piping from one program to another program that sends
it to another program has many more points of failure than an SMTP
session with Exim directly. Regardless of what languages are
used in what steps.

Maybe I'm missing something?
