How about a simple note in the POST-INSTALL-NOTES file?
sendmail /usr/local/sbin/exim
send-mail /usr/local/sbin/exim
mailq /usr/local/sbin/exim -bp
newaliases /usr/bin/true
I don't even know if this (from my mailer.conf file) is correct - I seem
to remember searching around and finding the info (or maybe I just
modified mailer.conf to taste?).
Having said this though perhaps if someone has the good sense to a) use
freebsd and b) decide to change to Exim then they probably don't need to
be told how to modify mailer.conf :=)
