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'.
FreeBSD has shipped with mailwrapper(8), which facilitates the use of
drop-in replacements for sendmail. Retire exim.sh in favour of the
mailwrapper(8) approach.

options `start' and `stop' now (unless I have forgotten any). This allows
us to call the scripts from /etc/rc.shutdown with the correct option.
The (42 or so) ports that already DTRT before are unchanged.
