I do not know anything about exim so I will not comment on it but, IMO anyone who in this day and age would even think about using qmail should really have a look at the currently maintained MTA's out there. In its day qmail was fine but AFAIK DJB is no longer actively maintaining it, and will not allow redistribution of modified code. I have unfortunately been forced to use qmail on some legacy systems. They were such a PITA to maintain that I put them behind postfix machines until I can get them migrated. Postfix is just so much better at rejecting spam. In addition qmail is not supported by any Red Hat distribution, so in order to be able to use it you must get the tarball for qmail and all of the patches you need. Then build it from source, and do what ever is necessary to maintain it. IMO if you are going to use fedora you should stick to one of the 3 MTA's that are supported by Fedora.
