>Description:
The mailwrapper system makes it easy to substitute alternate MTAs for
sendmail under most circumstances; but the 440.status-mailq script in
/etc/periodic/daily uses the sendmail-specific '-Ac' flag to mailq.

>How-To-Repeat:
Install the exim-imapd port.
Set up mailer.conf to refer to the exim binary instead of sendmail.
Run the daily periodic script.
>Fix:
I think the best solution would be to make the mailq parameters come
from a shell variable that can be overridden in /etc/periodic.conf.
