I'm willing to bet you're not running any queue runners. Start exim
with -qX, where X is a time specification, e.g.
/usr/local/sbin/exim -q5m
If you have a file /usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim.sh then someone has messed
with that file, taking the -qX out. If you _don't_ have such a file,
you need something like this in /etc/rc.conf :
sendmail_enable="YES"
sendmail_flags="-bd -q30m"
You may not want "-bd", since it causes an SMTP listener to be started.
You also may not want to specify sendmail_flags, since the default may
suit you (""-bd -q30m").
You then need to edit /etc/mail/mailer.conf, specifying the path to exim
as /usr/local/sbin/exim .
