Hi,

thanks for submitting the bug and the proposed patch. I'm doing a QA service
on this package and I'm inclined to change the dependency from exim to
default-mta. Currently on Debian, the default-mta is provided by the
exim4-daemon-light which recommends the mailx package.

I believe this would solve the problem, could you confirm it?
