Which version of FreeBSD? Check in /etc/defaults/rc.conf for the correct
settings to disable sendmail. On my 4.8-STABLE system, I set

sendmail_enable="NONE"

Earlier versions require you to set 'sendmail_enable="NO"' instead.

Install Exim from the ports, edit the file /usr/local/etc/exim/configure to
suit your local requirements, and start it using the rc script in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim.sh.

Edit /etc/mail/mailer.conf to point to exim rather than sendmail:

sendmail        /usr/local/sbin/exim
send-mail       /usr/local/sbin/exim
mailq           /usr/local/sbin/exim
newaliases      /usr/bin/true
hoststat        /usr/bin/true
purgestat       /usr/bin/true


That's all you need to do - the rc script will be run when the machine boots
up, and will start Exim for you. There are no specific flags to set in
/etc/rc.conf.
