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.
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.

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'.
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.

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.
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.
* 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.
