This is primarily a maintenance release, though there are a very small
number of functional additions.
This release does not address the "orphaned -D spool files" problem, but
to date this problem has not been observed on FreeBSD systems.
FreeBSD has shipped with mailwrapper(8), which facilitates the use of
drop-in replacements for sendmail. Retire exim.sh in favour of the
mailwrapper(8) approach.

mailwrapper, which facilitates drop-in replacements for sendmail.
Retire the exim.sh that was installed into ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/ to
start Exim, in favour of the mailwrapper approach.
A continuum in the history for this file isn't necessary. What _is_
important is the purpose of the patch today:
*) Changes the test used to determine whether a file should be installed
to cope with files which we "touch" to zero bytes for packaging
purposes.
*) Causes the configure file to be installed as a sample only. The
administrator needs to rename this file to "activate" exim.
*) Changes the invocation of make-info to be less prone to fail on
silly errors and fixes the info(1) titles so that, for example
``info exim'' actually enters the exim.info file.
Replace it with a patch against the distribution configure.default,
which changes as little as possible so that folks who are accustomed to
Exim on other platforms will not be astonished.
Install the file as configure.default instead of configure.sample, since
it's as close as damnit to the default Exim configuration file.
The only arguably unnecessary deviation from the default is:
* Accept SMTP relay from the loopback IP address. Too many applications
require this, and the window of abuse is arguably negligible.
``info exim'' would fail to descend into any of the 3 Exim info files
from the dir top branch.
While we're at it, add a pkg-message that
1) Points to the documentation
2) Explains how to get Exim started
run with a kernel that has had IPv6 ommitted from its configuration,
so I can't make this a default (yet).
* Remove crazy handling of exim.sh and replace it with something much
simpler and more sane. This allows non-root users to build, even if
they can't install (properly).
Since BSD UNIX still doesn't offer a user for running an MTA in a
sandbox the way many Linux distributions do, the Exim port uses
the traditional sandbox user for sendmail, called 'sendmail'.
Bump PORTREVISION accordingly.
files/Makefile) that's been a maintenance PITA for too long. Replace it
with a patch against EDITME, now that the sed rules that operate on it
are mostly sensible.
* Features enabled by default are disabled by defining
WITHOUT_FEATURE.
* Features disabled by default are enabled by defining
WITH_FEATURE.

AUTH_CRAM_MD5 and AUTH_PLAINTEXT support have nothing to do with PAM,
other than that all three can be used as authentication mechanisms
for SMTP AUTH.
Enable all three by default, so that the package includes them.
included in the package. Folks who don't want them can build Exim
as follows:
cd /path/to/ports/mail/exim
make WITH_MAILDIR=no WITH_MAILSTORE=no WITH_MBX=no
home directory is set to /nonexistent .
Not all systems encourage the use of /nonexistent as a home directory,
so this is not a change that should be incorporated into the Exim
distribution.
This change allows local deliveries into /var/mail for users with
no valid home directory.

libmysqlclient.so.6).

MySQL AB at least).
options `start' and `stop' now (unless I have forgotten any). This allows
us to call the scripts from /etc/rc.shutdown with the correct option.
The (42 or so) ports that already DTRT before are unchanged.
Allow admins to start migrating to the new nomenclature for
failing addresses:
fail_soft -> pass
fail_hard -> fail
The queryprogram router should use the word decline
instead of fail.
New keyword timezone used to manipulate the TZ variable.
