Exim is straight forward for basic installation, just like smail. Are you
using the smail lists (mailing list fuctions)? I converted a machine
at BNL from smail to exim in about 20 mins. The hardest thing for me
was getting smail marked to be removed, and exim to be installed,
and the whole thing to get forced through dpkg!  I, and a lot of
others have virtual domains, smartlist, etc running with exim very
happily, so just get the basic install done, then fire away with
any questions.
