SuSE has some GUI tools for part of the day-to-day administration (NIC,
proxy-usage, user-Admin, runlevels, ...), but most real SuSE admins I
know use the classic tools for configuring the applications.

For some apps/tasks SuSE has some quite qood integration into it's
administration tool Yast, and meanwhile quite behaviour if you do not
like this Yast and edit the config files on your own.

And still a lot of apps is not integrated, or partly only. AFAIK exim is
not integrated.

If your admins are not able to edit the exim.conf, they better should
should not think about administrating a mail system.
