Sheldon Hearn 9280935acb Suggest the use of newsyslog(8) for log rotation. The exicyclog
utility supplied with Exim is intended for systems that don't have
something as nifty as newsyslog(8).

I'm tempted to remove the utility from the port/package, but this
delta to pkg-message is less controversial.

The following documentation has been installed:
info 'Exim Overview' -> Overview of Exim
info Exim -> Exim Specification (User Guide)
info 'Exim Filtering' -> Exim Filter Specification (for end-users)
Postscript, PDF, HTML and plain text versions of these documents, as well
as a comprehensive FAQ list, are available at http://www.exim.org/ .
To replace sendmail with Exim:
1) Create exim/configure from exim/configure.default .
2) Stop the sendmail daemon.
3) Adjust mailer.conf(5) and set 'sendmail_enable' and 'sendmail_flags'
as appropriate in rc.conf(5).
4) Start exim with appropriate command-line options.
You may also want to configure newsyslog(8) to rotate Exim log files:
# Only HUP Exim once when rejectlog and mainlog are rotated.
/var/log/exim/mainlog sendmail:mail 640 7 * @T00 Z /var/run/exim.pid
/var/log/exim/rejectlog sendmail:mail 640 7 * @T00 Z
