I am running Exim 3.12 on a FreeBSD 3.4 box.
The three conf changes I did is.
I disabled sendmail (sendmail_enable=no , in /etc/rc.conf).
The other change is, I removed the binary of sendmail under /usr/sbin.
And the last change I made is a simbolic link from sendmail to
Exim(usr/sbin/sendmail -> /usr/local/sbin/exim).
I done this, because whenever the cron calls to do the routine messaging via
sendmail it will point towards exim, I must add that it does work rather
nicely.
And don't worry about /usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim.sh it gets called up at
bootup.
Ohhhh yeah...and I have nothing but praise for Exim.
Thanx

Hello!
As I don't quite understand the configuration of sendmail and don't
really want to learn how sendmail is to be configured, I'd like to
install exim as the MTA on my system.
What do I need to do to
- disable sendmail -> is it enough, when I insert a line
sendmail_enable=no to my /etc/rc.conf?
- remove sendmail -> which package contains sendmail? I grepped through
the listing of pkg_info -La for /usr/sbin/sendmail, and did not find
anything at all.
- install exim 3.13 -> I downloaded exim-3.13.tgz from
ftp.freebsd.org
and pkg_add'ed it. That was a pretty easy step ;-)
- enable exim 3.13 -> Okay, I found /usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim.sh. How do
I make sure that this script is executed at boot time? Would I create a
/etc/rc.local and insert a call to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim.sh there?
Would that be enough? This question also applies to MySQL which seems
to be started thru /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh.
Thanks for your help!
Oh, almost forgot to mention: I'm using FreeBSD 4.0.
