exim is a niche MTA (mail transfer agent) with no reverse dependencies in the distro and not in any package group. It also has an unconditional BuildRequires on libopendmarc-devel, which ties it to the opendmarc component that is being removed separately.
opendmarc-tools has an unresolved dependency in repoclosure. opendmarc is a DMARC email authentication milter for MTAs — niche mail server tooling not needed in a cloud-focused distro. The only component that depended on it (exim) was removed in the prior commit, and it is not in any package group.
