To use exim, you will need to perform the following steps manually; it is
inappropriate for this package to make the changes for you.
1. Read the documentation. Edit ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/configure to taste.
2. Edit ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/aliases to taste (or override it with the default
/etc/aliases system file).
3. Back-up /etc/mailer.conf to /etc/mailer.conf.sendmail.
Copy ${EXAMPLESDIR}/mailer.conf to /etc/mailer.conf.
4. Set 'sendmail=NO', 'exim=YES' and exim_flags to some sane value in
/etc/rc.conf (previously it was "-bd -q15m").
Copy ${LOCALBASE}/${RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR}/exim to /etc/rc.d.

5. Configuring log rotation is dependent on personal taste and the version
of NetBSD in use. See weekly.conf(5), newsyslog(8), exicyclog and
eximstats.

Also note:
1. Try `pkg_info exim` to see which features are enabled in this build.
2. Consider enabling SSL (STARTTLS) for receiving mail in your config.
This build automatically uses SSL when sending mail.
