Because, IIRC, at the time Sendmail wasn't considered secure (security audit still in process) & postfix too new. Exim was a stable, well-known and tested MTA. However the best answer is that you check the archives. The choice was made close to a decade ago so very few people reading D-U currently will have participated in the discussion and fewer still are likely to remember it. -- Steve C.
