can you put exim in contribs at least ? this will be easier to find it . Dispertion of rpm is not good, this force people to search too much and this gives them bad habits ( downloading semi official rpm ). Putting it in contribs will allow it to be tested by more people, and integrated to cooker. And, we will also be able to integrate some tools ( spamassassin, amavis ) more closely with exim. -- Michaël Scherer
