=========================================================================== $NetBSD: MESSAGE,v 1.2 2002/06/19 16:02:26 ad Exp $ 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. ===========================================================================
