Configure Exim/Sendmail on FreeBSD
Hi FreeBSD ppl :) I am new entry into this mailing list ... Have been a Linux user since '98 and now am trying FreeBSD too. (Hope I didn't step on any Flames ?) Well ... I am having trouble configuring Exim/Sendmail on FreeBSD My Config... - FreeBSD 4.7 RELEASE - Exim-3.x - Mutt 1.4i - Dial-up internet connectivity The trouble with sendmail ... The output queue is being created in /var/spool/clientmqueue instead of /var/spool/mqueue. In Linux I simply disabled sendmail from starting up during init, and queued up mail using Mutt in /var/spool/mqueue and when was connected I simply invoked sendmail as 'sendmail -q' ... that did the job. But things are different in FreeBSD ... plz guide me on how to setup sendmail. If not sendmail then how to setup Exim ... Exim is a breeze on Debian Potato ... but mostly due to 'eximconfig' I tried the BAD WAY of copying /etc/exim.conf from Debian into /usr/local/etc/exim/configure on FreeBSD ... Well it started up fine ... but while using fetchmail ... the incoming mail instead of getting delivered is getting queued up in /var/spool/exim/input ... :( Is 'eximconfig' or equivalent available for FreeBSD ... if not then what needs to be done ? I did try googling and found some solutions too, but didn't work !!! Whew !!! what a newbie this :( Thanks in advance ...
