When called under the name "rsmtp", exim behaves as if called withe the "-bS" switch, so there is no need to change any compile time options to get rsmtp-support in exim. After the package is compiled and merged, just add a symlink pointing from /usr/sbin/exim to /usr/sbin/rsmtp. rmail support is implemented the same way, again, there is only a symlink missing. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge exim 2. Try to execute rsmtp or rmail. 3. qpkg -l exim | egrep -c "rmail|rsmtp" gives 0. Actual Results: I was unable to implement a fully working UUCP system. Expected Results: Add the necessary symlinks (I did this by hand and it worked fine).
