exim question

Ok i have recently done a complete new install of redhat 8

as soon as the system was booted i removed sendmail (so thats completly gone)

now, i installed exim in

/usr/local/exim

and the spool dir is

/var/spool/exim_mail

i created a symbolic link from /var/mail to /var/spool/exim_mail

i created a symobolic link from /usr/sbin/sendmail to /usr/local/exim/bin/exim

now the is no init script or startup script for either exim or sendmail (because i removed it)

so my question is, how do i start exim, and will the o/s use exim as the new MTA because i created the sybolic links?

Thanx
