by using an rc.d script to launch Exim, as was done before I took over this port. This seems to be the most popular approach, and is arguably the simplest. Folks like me who attach some aesthetic value to using rc(8) and mailer.conf(8) to launch Exim at startup time should know enough to blow away the rc.d script and do things any way they please. For now, use two versions of the POST-INSTALL-NOTES, the only difference being that the one given to -CURRENT users suggests setting sendmail_enable to 'NONE', while the one for -STABLE users suggests 'NO'.

To use Exim instead of sendmail:
|
|
|
|
1) Create exim/configure from exim/configure.default .
|
|
2) Stop the sendmail daemon.
|
|
3) Adjust mailer.conf(5) as appropriate.
|
|
4) Set the 'sendmail_enable' rc.conf(5) variable to 'NO'.
|
|
5) Start exim with '${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/exim.sh start'.

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
