=========================================================================== $NetBSD: MESSAGE,v 1.3 2000/08/30 11:21:02 ad Exp $ To use exim, you will need to perform the following steps manually; it is inappropriate for this package to make the changes for you. 1. Add a `mail' user: mail:*:8:6::0:0:Mail subsystem:/var/mail:/sbin/nologin 2. Set the correct ownership and permissions on the exim log directory: chown mail:mail /var/log/exim && chmod 750 /var/log/exim 3. Read the documentation. Edit @PREFIX@/etc/exim/configure to taste. Note that depending on the version of NetBSD, the `aliases' file may be in /etc/mail and not /etc, as it was previously. 4. Back-up /etc/mailer.conf to /etc/mailer.conf.sendmail. Copy @PREFIX@/etc/exim/mailer.conf.exim to /etc/mailer.conf. 5. Set sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf. Add the folllowing to /etc/rc.local: echo -n ' exim'; @PREFIX@/etc/rc.d/exim.sh 6. Configuring log rotation is dependant on personal taste and the version of NetBSD in use. See weekly.conf(5), newsyslog(8), exicyclog and eximstats. ===========================================================================
