RC.SENDMAIL(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual NAME rc.sendmail -- sendmail(8) startup script DESCRIPTION The rc.sendmail script is used by /etc/rc at boot time to start sendmail(8). It is meant to be sendmail(8) specific and not a generic script for all MTAs. Contrast with the handbook entry, for changing the MTA for a given machine: 22.4 Changing Your Mail Transfer Agent 22.4.4 Replacing sendmail as the System's Default Mailer Which addresses the OPs original request, I think: "...some documentation to fully move from sendmail to exim on a 5.3 machine." I don't interpret the NONE directive as deprecated, for the mailer.conf wrapper, which is what should be used to "...fully move..." from sendmail to Exim, AFAICT. man mailer.conf and man mailwrapper.
