I am a new user of FreeBSD migrating from Red Hat Linux.  My MTA of
choice is exim, and I followed the directions in the Handbook and the
exim site (which, conveniently, agree) and I am still not getting exim
to play nicely.  Here is the error reported when the exim daemon starts:

sendmail-submitexim abandoned: unknown, malformed, or incomplete option
-L
 sendmail-clientmqueueexim abandoned: unknown, malformed, or incomplete
option -
L

Any suggestions?  Thanks.
