That way - or if you are running freebsd 4.3 and above you can use the
"mailwrapper". You need to symlink /usr/sbin/sendmail, /usr/lib/sendmail and
/usr/bin/mailq at least. /usr/bin/newaliases as well if you use some kind of
db for aliases instead of a flat text file.

# $FreeBSD: src/etc/mail/mailer.conf,v 1.2 1999/12/29 18:24:06 peter Exp $
#
# Execute the "real" sendmail program, named /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
#
sendmail    /usr/local/sbin/exim
send-mail    /usr/local/sbin/exim
mailq        /usr/local/sbin/exim
newaliases    /usr/local/sbin/exim
