Sheldon Hearn 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.

# Since FreeBSD does not supply a user for running an MTA in a sandbox
# by default, use user 'exim', adding it if it does not exist. Even
# if FreeBSD supplied an MTA user, it's neglected to do so for so long
# that every sandboxed MTA under the sun uses its own user, so user
# 'exim' should probably be used forever.

# Modern FreeBSD systems already have a group mail.
