pkgsrc/mail/exim/MESSAGE
reed 2d4122dd45 Fix references to rc.d scripts. This package uses RCD_SCRIPTS
which installs to ${RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR}. But the MESSAGE
referred to wrong hard-coded location if the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR
was not the default. So use RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR instead.

PKGREVISION not bumped because if someone had changed
RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR before recent change of autoregistration
of rc.d script in PLIST, then it could not have been packaged
in first place.

Note that this commit does not imply that the MESSAGE is correct.
In some cases, the MESSAGE is clearly wrong such as suggesting
running the rc.d script from the example directory (which will work
although).

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 ${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.
