Under FreeBSD the existing port is way out of date (version 1.8 or 
something like that), so the simple (and I think proper) approach I use 
is to:

1. download the distro from the "official" xmail site and compile it
2. put a start/stop script at /usr/local/etc/rc.d (this may differ for 
netBSD or openBSD)

in case this is helpful.  It may be to *BSD users who generally 
anticipate an up-to-date port.  I have been considering maintaining a 
port for FreeBSD but haven't gotten a sensible time block together yet.
