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, see: http://www.exim.org/docs.html
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. If sendmail (or postfix) is running, stop the daemons:
run '/etc/rc.d/sendmail stop' and '/etc/rc.d/smmsp stop'.
5. In /etc/rc.conf set 'sendmail=NO', 'smmsp=NO', 'exim=YES' and exim_flags
to some sane value (for example "-bd -q15m").
Copy ${LOCALBASE}/${RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR}/exim to /etc/rc.d.
6. Run '/etc/rc.d/exim start' to start the daemon.
7. 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.
