You shouldn't need to do anything. Just ensure your host and port are
set properly.

Never used exim or FC-6, allthough this snippet might indicate you could
try to set the sendmail_path to a sendmail wrapper or replacement:

<http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php>
"sendmail_path string
....
Systems not using sendmail should set this directive to the sendmail
wrapper/replacement their mail system offers, if any. For example, » Qmail
users can normally set it to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail or
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject."

Google also seems to have some answers, haven't tried any of them, but
this was the first hit for
instance:<http://www.codewalkers.com/c/a/Miscellaneous/Adding-Mail-with-Exim/>

Correct - my mistake. But Exim contains a sendmail executable,
completely compatible with sendmail.

One other thought - if you're having problems with sendmail, chances are
you'll have the same problems with Exim.
