Postscript, PDF, HTML and texinfo versions of these documents can be
installed via one of the mail/exim-doc-* ports.
Stop people complaining about the absence of plain text versions of the documentation by installing them. Update the post-install notes to reflect the presence of the new exim-doc-* ports for alternative documentation formats. Bump PORTREVISION.

I agree with the Exim community that the exim-4.xx has reached production quality. Move exim to exim-old for folks who need exim-3.xx, because the configuration file for exim-4.xx is not backward compatible. Move exim-devel to exim, removing NO_LATEST_LINK: repo-copy exim -> exim-old copy over exim-devel -> exim retire exim-devel Slave ports are intended for use with the exim port, as before, so they now build and install for exim-4.xx.

To use Exim instead of sendmail on startup:
* Drop deprecated USE_PERL5. * Move the contents of pkg-message into POST-INSTALL-NOTES, which gets installed in the !NOPORTDOCS case for future reference. * Refer to POST-INSTALL-NOTES from pkg-message in the !NOPORTDOCS case. In the NOPORTDOCS case, use POST-INSTALL-NOTES as the pkg-message.

Revert rev 1.109 of Makefile. Given the likelihood of future changes in the configuration affecting the base system's MTA, the management of multiple POST-INSTALL-NOTES files could easily become a nightmare. Instead, use a single POST-INSTALL-NOTES file that includes instructions that, at worst, suggest unnecessary but harmless changes. While here, use bullets instead of a numbered list for the notes, so that future deltas are easier to read. Also, mention the 'daily_status_include_submit_mailq' periodic.conf(5) knob, as reported in PR ports/38925. PR: ports/38925 Submitted by: Pat Lashley <patl+freebsd@phoenix.volant.org>

*) Clear the sendmail queue and stop the sendmail daemon.
*) Adjust mailer.conf(5) as appropriate.

*) Set the 'daily_status_include_submit_mailq' and
'daily_clean_hoststat_enable' periodic.conf(5)
variables to 'NO'.
Add the note to set 'daily_queuerun_enable' and 'daily_submit_queuerun' to "NO" in periodic.conf(5), for people using exim without queue runner, eg if remote deliveries are not desirable. Submitted by: Geraint Edwards <gedge at yadn dot org>

*) Consider setting 'daily_queuerun_enable' and
'daily_submit_queuerun' to "NO" in periodic.conf(5),
if you intend to manage queue runners / deliveries closely.
Bring the Exim port closer to use as an install-time sendmail replacement for FreeBSD: * Use an rc.subr start/stop script. * Include contributed periodic scripts. * Replace $PREFIX with the build-time value of PREFIX. * Generate a default configure file if it doesn't exist at install-time. * Remove the default configure file if it hasn't been modified at deinstall-time. * Install additional documentation. * Move creation and removal of /var/log/exim to pkg-plist. Bump PORTREVISION accordingly. This paves the way for ports/56458, which teaches sysinstall about Exim. Bug trhodes about that PR. :-) PR: ports/56450 Submitted by: Oliver Eikemeier <eikemeier@fillmore-labs.com>
2003-09-10 15:49:09 +02:00
*) Set the 'exim_enable' rc.conf(5) variable to 'YES'.
*) Start exim with '%%RC_DIR%%/exim%%RC_SUFX%% start'.
Cope with the fact that at least one 3rd-party package against which Exim may be linked (MySQL) uses a startup script to add its library path to the linker hints. Explain the problem in POST-INSTALL-NOTES and provide a sample startup script. I think such packages should do away with the script and provide POST-INSTALL-NOTES that encourage the operator to add the library path to ldconfig_paths in /etc/rc.conf, but provide this work-around anyway.

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
