Hi

I ran into this with a local exim install.

I found that if I put exim into exclude= yum would try to install an
alternative mta. I installed the packages that listed exim as a dependency
manually with --nodeps and then let yum do the rest.

Alternatively you could roll you own SRPM and build from that.
