To use nullmailer, you will need to perform the following steps:

1. Create a ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/nullmailer/remotes file.
   The file should contain a line with the name of your relay host
   and the relay protocol to be used, eg.

	smtp.relayhost.domain	smtp

2. Back up /etc/mailer.conf and copy nullmailer's from
   ${PREFIX}/share/examples/nullmailer/mailer.conf

3. If you don't have PKG_RCD_SCRIPTS set in your /etc/mk.conf, copy
   ${PREFIX}/${RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR}/nullmailer to
   ${RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR}/nullmailer and add

	nullmailer=YES

   to /etc/rc.conf. Other MTA's, (eg. sendmail, exim), should be set
   to NO.

4. Stop any other running MTA. Now start nullmailer by issuing the
   command

	${RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR}/nullmailer start

5. You may need to add further configuration files to the directory
   ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/nullmailer.  These include the `adminaddr',
   `defaultdomain', `defaulthost', `idhost', `me', and `pausetime'
   files.  This will depend on your local setup.  See the
   nullmailer(7), nullmailer-queue(8), and nullmailer-send(8) manual
   pages for details.
