e19aceb0b2 * Drop deprecated USE_PERL5.
* Move the contents of pkg-message into POST-INSTALL-NOTES, which
  gets installed in the !NOPORTDOCS case for future reference.

* Refer to POST-INSTALL-NOTES from pkg-message in the !NOPORTDOCS
  case.  In the NOPORTDOCS case, use POST-INSTALL-NOTES as the
  pkg-message.

30e56f6fb6 Too many people have complained about my choice of MTA user (sendmail).
Bite the bullet _now_ and use MTA user exim instead.  This means that
only early adopters of Exim-3.31 are affected, rather than lots more
folks further down the line.

I still think mailnull is better, but nobody in the Exim community
agrees with me. :-)

Bump PORTREVISION as appropriate.

29327f0273 Clarify that the steps involving mailwrapper(8) don't replace the a
sendmail installation, but cause exim to be run instead of sendmail on
startup.

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.

c06da2ea40 Exim is a drop-in replacement for sendmail. Since 4.1-RELEASE,
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.

98bfa4fbf7 Retire our local copy of configure.default, which is a maintenance pain.
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.

896d5bff25 Install the Exim info files with more useful names. Before, the command
``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
