The advantage for the Plesk developers is that Exim supports all Email features out of the box. They only have to be configured and/or activated. Exims powerful configuration with it's expansion language can support every thinkable requirement.
Postfix and Qmail on the other hand need custom handlers for many things.
If you should really be able to find something Exim can't do, you can still extend Exims configuration with Perl scripts.
The advantage for the server admin is the much simpler logfile format. Everything you need to know about a certain email is logged on one line for how it's coming in and one line for how it's going out (or being delivered locally). You can enable as much verbosity as you need in the logs, like the interfaces the mail passes through. Each line prefixes the message ID.
Postfix is also good here, but for Qmail you have to guess which line belongs to which email.
Exim does not need any config or list files to be compiled into db format. /etc/aliases is read as is, and it's fast too.
I would love to see Exim in Plesk. Please get rid of Qmail instead.
