exim is more or less a replacement for sendmail.  one would not
generally have both exim and sendmail installed on the same system.
in fact, on my debian system, sendmail looks like this:

sweden [~]>ls -l /usr/lib/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           12 Aug 14 23:16 /usr/lib/sendmail -> ../sbin/exim*
