hi phil,

argh. my brain hurts. i thought i was :-/ need to stare at this a bit ...

nope. same steps, both times.

honestly doubt that ... i'd see the problem elsewhere, no?

hrm. read on ...

lol! heh, the need for sympathy sunk in, finally, and i gave up on the port.
Now, building "manually" (the way i always have b4 on osx etc) from
src all's well and functional:

exim in a 'slender' jail! very cool.

I've really come to like/appreciate Ports sys, as well. But, whereas
the lower-lying tools, deps, etc are generally wonderfully easy to
deal with in Ports, i'm finding that the "top-level" apps (apache2,
bind9, spamassassin, exim, etc) _all_ "miss just that one little
thing" ...
my S.O.P. is becoming foundations with Ports, top-level apps via diy
src. so far, so good with that theory. and, i don't have to beat my
head against the wall when ports-maintainers are non-responsive or the
Ports sys is in endless-thaw (kinda like Google forever-beta, eh? ;-)
)
anyway, thanks! for taking the time to read/think about my issue. :-)
at some point in the future, i may well monkey with the exim port to
figure out the issue in jails, but for now -- onward!
cheers.
