06b84adc7d Build Exim with compile-time defaults for exim_user and exim_group.
Use the newly added mailnull user, and the now well-established group
mail.

The use of compile-time defaults for these values is not required for
many sites, but are important for more exotic applications.

This ensures that the packages are useful to the widest audience
possible.

30e56f6fb6 Too many people have complained about my choice of MTA user (sendmail).
Bite the bullet _now_ and use MTA user exim instead.  This means that
only early adopters of Exim-3.31 are affected, rather than lots more
folks further down the line.

I still think mailnull is better, but nobody in the Exim community
agrees with me. :-)

Bump PORTREVISION as appropriate.

  conditions.

64480762d4 The commented RBL stuff in configure.default was not updated as
expected in exim-3.30 release.  Apply a patch from the author,
which will be included in exim-3.31 if such a release ever occurs.

98bfa4fbf7 Retire our local copy of configure.default, which is a maintenance pain.
Replace it with a patch against the distribution configure.default,
which changes as little as possible so that folks who are accustomed to
Exim on other platforms will not be astonished.

Install the file as configure.default instead of configure.sample, since
it's as close as damnit to the default Exim configuration file.

The only arguably unnecessary deviation from the default is:

* Accept SMTP relay from the loopback IP address.  Too many applications
  require this, and the window of abuse is arguably negligible.
