4.70 freebsd pwcheck

not obvious to me how to config 4.70 on freebsd to compile with

CYRUS_PWCHECK_SOCKET=/var/pwcheck/pwcheck

yes, i know this is not the wonderful way to do things :)

[X] AUTH_SASL Enable use of Cyrus SASL auth library

does not do it

Recently that mechanism was removed from the FreeBSD port distribution
as it had been marked DEPRECATED for a long time.

Wait a couple of days (max) for 4.71, it's "very imminent" and has
various bug-fixes and cleanups which might be expected after the first
release in a couple of years.

The way the FreeBSD port manages this sort of configuraton is to patch
the src/EDITME file to provide some XX_FOO_XX hooks which can then be
adjusted afterwards. Look at files/patch-src::EDITME.

Honestly, your easiest approach is going to be:
make patch
vi work/exim-*/src/EDITME
make

Alternatively, since the FreeBSD port developer reads this list, you
might get lucky and he'll expose this as a knob for the 4.71 release.
:) He's been cooperative for me in the past, putting in knobs for
things like EXIM_USER. Very nice chap.

and just compiler and installed the sucker. had to get mail systems
back up so i can go back to work in the morning
