This is the only bit I want to answer. :-) 1) Install Exim from the ports tree. 2) Replace sendmail binaries with a symbolic links to exim: cd /usr/sbin && ln -fs /usr/local/sbin/exim sendmail cd /usr/bin && ln -fs /usr/local/sbin/exim mailq 3) Teach newsyslog to rotate your exim logs: Add something like this to /etc/newsyslog.conf: /var/log/exim_mainlog root:mail 640 7 * 24 Z /var/log/exim_rejectlog root:mail 640 3 100 * Z If you run exim with its own user and group, make sure you get the ownerships above correct. For example, I use the following: /var/log/exim/mainlog exim:mail 640 7 * 24 Z /var/log/exim/rejectlog exim:mail 640 3 100 * Z See the newsyslog(8) manpage for more details. 4) Make sure future ``make world'' runs won't activate sendmail: echo NO_SENDMAIL=true >>/etc/make.conf Ciao, Sheldon.
