Tweak some of the settings done by sysinstall in Configure > Networking > Mail > Exim This is a followup to PR ports/56450: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=56450 but works with earlier exim packages too. - add 'enable_exim="YES"' to rc.conf(5) - exim now has a default configure file in the package - disable some more scripts that use sendmail specific parameters - tweak mailer.conf(5) substitution - use 'N' flag for newsyslog(8) Thanks to all who have worked on bringing support for alternative MTAs to FreeBSD.
