Assuming you are running a Debian variant from your mail headers, I'm
guessing that rkhunter specified an MTA required, and the default MTA
for your distro happens to be exim.

To prove that -

==> aptitude show rkhunter
Package: rkhunter
State: installed
Depends: binutils, debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0, exim4 | postfix |
sendmail | mail-transport-agent, file, net-tools, perl

See the depends line?

Changing to sendmail is easy -

==> sudo aptitude --simulate install sendmail
The following NEW packages will be automatically installed:
  m4 procmail sendmail-base sendmail-bin sendmail-cf sensible-mda
The following packages will be automatically REMOVED:
  postfix
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  m4 procmail sendmail sendmail-base sendmail-bin sendmail-cf sensible-mda
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  postfix
0 packages upgraded, 7 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 1894kB of archives. After unpacking 3146kB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]

In my case I'm running postfix rather than exim, but the results are the
same. Installing one will automatically remove the other because they
are marked as conflicting with each other.
