Well, Ollie Cook and another guy managed to build and run Exim 3.22 on
FreeBSD 4.3 from the ports collection, so in theory, it should work.
:: Looks like the FreeBSD port adds things to the basic package. There is
:: no exim.sh script in the base distribution.
It's just a simple wrapper:
# less /usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim.sh
#!/bin/sh
args='-bd -q30m'
case "$1" in
start)
[ -x /usr/local/sbin/exim ] && /usr/local/sbin/exim $args && echo -n
' exim'
;;
stop)
killall exim && echo -n ' exim'
;;
*)
echo "Usage: `basename $0` {start|stop}" >&2
exit 64
;;
esac
exit 0
An attempt at user-friendliness ;-).
:: 1. Have you tried building from a vanilla distribution instead of the
:: FreeBSD port?
Nope, will try that. The port fetches Exim from one of these sites:
ftp://ftp.cus.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programs/exim/ \
http://www.exim.org/ftp/ \
ftp://ftp.is.co.za/networking/mail/transport/exim/
DISTFILES= exim-3.22.tar.gz exim-texinfo-3.20.tar.gz
And this is the only patch applied, as far as I can tell:
=====================================================================
This patch makes four changes to the exim_install script:
1) Changes the test used to determine whether a file should be installed
to cope with files which we "touch" to zero bytes for packaging
purposes.
2) Causes an exim.sh startup script to be installed in the BSD-style
${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d
3) Causes the configure file to be installed as a sample only. The
administrator needs to rename this file to "activate" exim.
4) Changes the invocation of make-info to be less prone to fail on
silly errors. XXX Check that this is still necessary from time
to time.

Yes, tried that.
