Thanks Tony,
I don't remember if I seen this gem anywhere
"exim_status_mail_rejects_enable=NO", but I did see the normal
periodic-daily equiv.
Anywho, I did some searching through the system and found a number of EXim
docs, none of which I can find mention anything about the gem. I also
'grep'd for it as well, not found.
Here is a complete (it's short) cut and copy of the
/usr/ports/mail/exim/files/POST-INSTALL-NOTES doc:
defiant# more POST-INSTALL-NOTES
The following documentation has been installed:
man exim -> Exim options (command line)
%%DOCSDIR%%/spec.txt -> Exim Specification (User Guide)
%%DOCSDIR%%/filter.txt -> Exim Filter Specification (for end-users)
Postscript, PDF, HTML and texinfo versions of these documents can be
installed via one of the mail/exim-doc-* ports.
An online version as well as a comprehensive FAQ and a mailing list
archive is available at:
http://www.exim.org/
Descriptions of new features not available it the manual, and a listing
of all changes, including bug fixes are documented in:
%%DOCSDIR%%/NewStuff
%%DOCSDIR%%/ChangeLog
To use Exim instead of sendmail on startup:
*) Clear the sendmail queue and stop the sendmail daemon.
*) Adjust mailer.conf(5) as appropriate.
*) Set the 'sendmail_enable' rc.conf(5) variable to 'NONE'.
*) Set the 'daily_status_include_submit_mailq' and
'daily_clean_hoststat_enable' periodic.conf(5)
variables to 'NO'.
*) Consider setting 'daily_queuerun_enable' and
'daily_submit_queuerun' to "NO" in periodic.conf(5),
if you intend to manage queue runners / deliveries closely.
*) Set the 'exim_enable' rc.conf(5) variable to 'YES'.
*) Start exim with '%%RC_DIR%%/exim%%RC_SUFX%% start'.
You may also want to configure newsyslog(8) to rotate Exim log files:
%%LOGDIR%%/mainlog mailnull:mail 640 7 * @T00 ZN
%%LOGDIR%%/rejectlog mailnull:mail 640 7 * @T00 ZN
NOTE TO OPERATORS UPGRADING FROM exim-3.xx:
There was a big reworking of the way mail routing works for release
4.00. Previously used "directors" were abolished, and all routing is
now done by routers. Policy controls for incoming mail are now done by
Access Control Lists instead of separate options. All this means that
pre-4.00 configuration files have to be massively converted. If you
are coming from a 3.xx release, please read the document in the file
%%DOCSDIR%%/Exim4.upgrade, and allow some time to complete
the upgrade.
Additional scripts to help upgrading are installed in:
%%EXAMPLESDIR%%
