Wait a couple of days (max) for 4.71, it's "very imminent" and has
various bug-fixes and cleanups which might be expected after the first
release in a couple of years.

The way the FreeBSD port manages this sort of configuraton is to patch
the src/EDITME file to provide some XX_FOO_XX hooks which can then be
adjusted afterwards. Look at files/patch-src::EDITME.

Honestly, your easiest approach is going to be:
make patch
vi work/exim-*/src/EDITME
make

Alternatively, since the FreeBSD port developer reads this list, you
might get lucky and he'll expose this as a knob for the 4.71 release.
:) He's been cooperative for me in the past, putting in knobs for
things like EXIM_USER. Very nice chap.
