How should I replace Sendmail with Exim on FreeBSD? </p> <p> <font color="#00BB00">A9201:</font> There is a file called <i>/etc/mail/mailer.conf</i> which selects what to run for various MTA calls. Instead of changing <i>/usr/sbin/sendmail</i>, you should edit this file instead, to read something like this: </p> <pre> sendmail /usr/exim/bin/exim send-mail /usr/exim/bin/exim mailq /usr/exim/bin/exim -bp newaliases /usr/bin/true</pre> <p> You probably also need to edit <i>/etc/periodic.conf</i>; see <a href="FAQ_21.html#TOC375">Q9202</a>. </p> <p> <a name="TOC375" href="FAQ.html#TOC375">Q9202:</a> A script that FreeBSD runs nightly uses <i>mailq</i> with the <b>-Ac</b> parameter.

Exim doesn't have the concept of a “submission queue”. You can disable this feature of the nightly script by adding the line </p> <pre> daily_status_include_submit_mailq="NO" # No separate 'submit' queue</pre> <p> to the file <i>/etc/periodic.conf</i>. </p> <p> <a name="TOC376" href="FAQ.html#TOC376">Q9203:</a> How can I use Exim for authenticated SMTP using Cyrus on FreeBSD? </p> <p> <font color="#00BB00">A9203:</font> This web page may help: <a href="http://www.munk.nu/exim/exim-freebsd-asmtp.php">http://www.munk.nu/exim/exim-freebsd-asmtp.php</a>. </p> <hr><br> <a href="FAQ.html#TOC">Contents</a> <a href="FAQ_20.html">Previous</a> <a href="FAQ_22.html">Next</a> </body> </html>
