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. Set the correct ownership and permissions on the exim log directory:
|
|
chown mail:mail /var/log/exim && chmod 750 /var/log/exim
|
|
3. Read the documentation. Edit ${PREFIX}/etc/exim/configure to taste.
|
|
4. Back-up /etc/mailer.conf to /etc/mailer.conf.sendmail.
|
|
Copy ${PREFIX}/etc/exim/mailer.conf.exim to /etc/mailer.conf.
|
|
5. Set 'sendmail=NO', 'exim=YES' and exim_flags to some sane value in
|
|
/etc/rc.conf (previously it was "-bd -q15m"). Copy ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/exim
|
|
to /etc/rc.d.
|
|
6. Configuring log rotation is dependant 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.
