Hello! As I don't quite understand the configuration of sendmail and don't really want to learn how sendmail is to be configured, I'd like to install exim as the MTA on my system. What do I need to do to - disable sendmail -> is it enough, when I insert a line sendmail_enable=no to my /etc/rc.conf? - remove sendmail -> which package contains sendmail? I grepped through the listing of pkg_info -La for /usr/sbin/sendmail, and did not find anything at all. - install exim 3.13 -> I downloaded exim-3.13.tgz from ftp.freebsd.org and pkg_add'ed it. That was a pretty easy step ;-) - enable exim 3.13 -> Okay, I found /usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim.sh. How do I make sure that this script is executed at boot time? Would I create a /etc/rc.local and insert a call to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim.sh there? Would that be enough? This question also applies to MySQL which seems to be started thru /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh. Thanks for your help! Oh, almost forgot to mention: I'm using FreeBSD 4.0.
