Why (in all innocence)? I know little about exim. Does it approach the spam problem in a better way than postfix?
Mostly, the reason for reaching for exim is that complicated configuration is easier and more clear in exim (in my experience, at any rate) - I tend to use exim everywhere that I can though, and only use postfix when doing things for work (because the setup is "relatively" simple in postfix).
That's basically the same for me. What postfix can do easily, it does easily, but what postfix can't do easily is like slamming into a brick wall. Exim seems rather more complicated even in the sample case, but it has a more gradual increase in complexity and it seems to connect to everything if you want/need it to. For example, I've connected it to some really entertaining authentication systems...
Hope that explains,
