If you are using the port/package, why don't you let the system work as
it gets installed ?

You missed or edited away the text that said:

You can either change /usr/sbin/sendmail to point to
/usr/local/sbin/exim or, more likely if you install the package, then
update /etc/mailer.conf to replace sendmail with exim, and let the
system start "sendmail" with flags "-bd -q30m" as root, then it will
work. Oh, the bit that may not be documented is to change the root
crontab entries for local sendmail stuff...

Is there anything I said in my earlier reply that caused you to stop
asking question of me or on the openbsd lists ? Don't think so, but like
with all these things and "free" software, patience can wear thin.
