Many of exim's configuration options are compiled in.  Here, we
specify the minimum set of options, BIN_DIRECTORY, CONFIGURE_FILE and
EXIM_USER.  We also defer building the exim monitor program, which
requires X windows support, by commenting out the EXIM_MONITOR line in
the Makefile.</para>

<para><userinput>ln -s /usr/sbin/exim /usr/sbin/sendmail</userinput> : Create a link to sendmail for applications which need it.  exim will
accept most Sendmail command line options.</para>
