Hi Kirill,
Thanks again for the tips. Perhaps this is an error with the Makefile,
but building returns the following either when I add
WITHOUT_ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=yes: to make (or directly uncommented in the
Makefile):
poly# make WITHOUT_ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=yes install
===> Extracting for exim-4.24_4
>> Checksum OK for exim/exim-4.24.tar.bz2.
>> Checksum OK for exim/exiscan-acl-4.24-13.patch.bz2.
===> Patching for exim-4.24_4

Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
*** Error code 2
Stop in /usr/ports/mail/exim.
Perhaps this is due to a bug in the makefile:
.if defined(WITHOUT_ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX)
SEDLIST+= -e 's,^\ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=,# ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=,'
.endif
Thanks,
Michael
