Yes, it has these two links. I'm using here exim since a half year and had no
problem with my apps. From the info-page of exim:
Like many MTAs, Exim has adopted the Sendmail interface so that it can
be a straight replacement for `/usr/lib/sendmail'. All the relevant
Sendmail options are implemented, with two reservations. There are also
some additional options that are compatible with Smail 3, and some
further options that are new to Exim.
