Version-chasers beware; exim-4 configuration files are significantly different from exim-3 configuration files. Do not attempt to upgrade without reading POST-INSTALL-NOTES.

To run Exim instead of sendmail on startup:
|
|
|
|
1) Create exim/configure from exim/configure.default .
|
|
2) Stop the sendmail daemon.
|
|
3) Adjust mailer.conf(5) and set 'sendmail_enable' and 'sendmail_flags'
|
|
as appropriate in rc.conf(5).
|
|
4) Start exim with appropriate command-line options.
|
|
|
|
You may also want to configure newsyslog(8) to rotate Exim log files:
|
|
|
|
/var/log/exim/mainlog mailnull:mail 640 7 * @T00 Z
|
|
/var/log/exim/rejectlog mailnull:mail 640 7 * @T00 Z
|
|
|
|
NOTE TO OPERATORS UPGRADING FROM exim-3.xx:
|
|
|
|
There was a big reworking of the way mail routing works for release
|
|
4.00. Previously used "directors" were abolished, and all routing is
|
|
now done by routers. Policy controls for incoming mail are now done by
|
|
Access Control Lists instead of separate options. All this means that
|
|
pre-4.00 configuration files have to be massively converted. If you
|
|
are coming from a 3.xx release, please read the document in the file
|
|
${PREFIX}/share/doc/exim/Exim4.upgrade, and allow some time to complete
|
|
the upgrade.
