Oh dear, I wonder whether there is any rational justification for that?
I've accepted that I should discard years of familiarity with sendmail,
because postfix replaced it in ubuntu, and sendmail was said to be less
secure.
However, it is not acceptable for a distro to change MTA whilly-nilly.
The user cost is far too high. In the next decade, I'm planning to stay
with postfix, or change back to sendmail. Dumping the latest
flip-floppery in favour of our preference is the work of a few moments.
So there is little reason why anyone need feel compelled to use exim, is
there?.
