Greetings,

Installing Exim is very simple.. What kind of help do you need?

./configure
make
make install

that's about it ;)

Clearly you've not installed Exim before as there is no configure script
supplied with it.

cp src/EDITME Local/Makefile
vi Local/Makefile
make
make install

would be more accurate.

Well, it really isn't all that hard...

Most of the time you can do the standard:
cp doc/EDITME Local/Makefile (or whatever)
vim Local/Makefile (edit edit edit...)
make
make install

Even for my mysql/maildir setup, I didn't need to edit any more than 10
lines of Local/Makefile.

If you're using a standard mail setup, the only thing you need to edit is
the user...

Simple, yet flexible :)
IMHO, I like this way better than the configure stuff.

Maybe use a prepared backage as supplied for your operating system or by
your operating system vendor.

$ uname
NetBSD
$ pkg_add exim
