Description Stefan Förster 2003-04-11 04:57:20 UTC

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).
