exim, sendmail, smail, qmail .... ???

[Richard Lindner <rjl@riclin.com.au>]

Would someone explain Debian's logic behind choosing exim over sendmail
or smail for slink and potato (and I presume woody). The exim web page
is excruciatingly coy regarding comparisons between it an the other
mainstream MTAs. What's exims advantage (other than a simplified config)
that warrants it's use over the other industry standards?
