There are different exim packages for OpenBSD. You could do a pkg_add -v ftp://ftp.ca.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.1/packages/i386/exim-4.66.tgz (assuming you are using 4.1 on i386 etc.) or use other exim packages that support mysql, postgresql, ldap and so on. I also thought initially that sendmail was going to be very complicated but the way it is all put together (plus the docs in ) make it quite easy. So may be it may not be very difficult for you, especially since you know Debian etc. > > While in this case, setting up outgoing mail isn't important, I'm > using the box also as a test-bed to see how well OBSD would work > instead of Debian on my main box.
