It's part of the base system, so you just ignore it.

1. Install exim from ports or packages

2. Edit /etc/mail/mailer.conf so that it reads

sendmail        /usr/local/sbin/exim
send-mail       /usr/local/sbin/exim
mailq           /usr/local/sbin/exim
# optional extras
newaliases      /usr/bin/true
hoststat        /usr/local/sbin/exim_dumpdb /var/spool/exim wait-remote_smtp
purgestat       /usr/local/sbin/exim_tidydb -t 1d /var/spool/exim wait-remote_smtp

(I'm not sure if the port does that for you automatically)

3. Edit /etc/rc.conf

sendmail_enable="NONE"
exim_enable="YES"

So whilst this doesn't actually purge your system of the devil-spawn, it
does neutralise it :-)

The default install works as a basic out-of-the-box sendmail: i.e. it
delivers to mbox files /var/mail/foo, honours /etc/aliases and .forward
files. You then read the config samples and start tweaking to add whatever
features and policies you like. The entire flow-of-control, from accepting
mail to delivering it, is soft-coded in the configure file (but it doesn't
look like Snoopy swearing)

Regards,

Brian.
