Sheldon has been doing a great job with the Exim ports, as I can see from the logs, and I will definitely give Exim a shot during the weekend. If anyone has useful pointers that they would like to send to me, I'd be much obliged. My intention is to try installing Exim to replace Sendmail on my workstation at home, and keep notes. Then, at the end of it all, I'll sit down and write a little addition to the Handbook about installing Exim as an alternative MTA in FreeBSD. If anyone of you has something that they would consider a useful addition to a set of notes for Exim, I would be much indebted if you mailed them personally to me.
