To use Exim instead of sendmail on startup:
|
|
|
|
*) Clear the sendmail queue and stop the sendmail daemon.
|
|
*) Adjust mailer.conf(5) as appropriate.
|
|
*) Set the 'sendmail_enable' rc.conf(5) variable to 'NONE'.
|
|
*) Set the 'daily_status_include_submit_mailq' and
|
|
'daily_clean_hoststat_enable' periodic.conf(5)
|
|
variables to 'NO'.
|
|
*) Consider setting 'daily_queuerun_enable' and
|
|
'daily_submit_queuerun' to "NO" in periodic.conf(5),
|
|
if you intend to manage queue runners / deliveries closely.
|
|
*) Set the 'exim_enable' rc.conf(5) variable to 'YES'.
|
|
*) Start exim with '%%RC_DIR%%/exim%%RC_SUFX%% start'.
|

You may also want to configure newsyslog(8) to rotate Exim log files:
|
|
|
|
%%LOGDIR%%/mainlog mailnull:mail 640 7 * @T00 ZN
|
|
%%LOGDIR%%/rejectlog mailnull:mail 640 7 * @T00 ZN
|

|
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
|
|
%%DOCSDIR%%/Exim4.upgrade, and allow some time to complete
|
|
the upgrade.
|
|
|
|
Additional scripts to help upgrading are installed in:
