There are FreeBSD specifics, usually in the work subdir; so you may wish to defer make clean until you review that. It's a habit I've developed: regardless of any docs installed by any port, I always look into work after make install, just to see what might be in there. Additionally, there is copious documentation provided seperately in the ports tree for Exim; it should be enough to get you started for local delivery. That's all I use it for. I do lurk on the Exim list; it's fairly friendly, so you could ask there. They do expect you to read the docs, first, I think. If you want to go beyond using it for local delivery, I can't help. It's not complex to set it up for local stuff. -- I don't care what you think. This is not a stylishly insouciant stroll out of the jungle, here. It's more like we've fallen out of our trees and rolled, butt-naked before the entire galaxy, downhill. That, and we seem to have a teensy problem lifting ourselves off the ground.
