Hmm, that was it. I did everything correctly but instead of using the
patched EDITME for Local/Makefile, I used my custom Makefile that I have
always kept, because I had sdiff-ed it with the one for exim-4.20 and saw
there was no change!! Stupid me, the patch changed stuff a bit.


Okay, so the instructions for FreeBSD (4.8) users should be like this:

FreeBSD-4.8 here ;-)
   

cd exim-4.20
patch -p1 < ../duncanthrax.net/exiscan/exiscan-4.20-26.patch
patch -p1 < ../SA-EXIM/sa-exim-3.0/localscan_dlopen.patch
   
cp src/EDITME Local/Makefile	# make the changes desired here, then
make
make install
   
cd ../SA-EXIM/sa-exim-3.0/
vi Makefile to change the EXIM_SRC
   
gmake

mkdir -p /usr/lib/exim4/local_scan
cp *.so /usr/lib/exim4/local_scan/


Thanks Tony!

I am wondering why you had to go the Postfix way. Is it for fun (and two lives
in the MTA world) or is there something PostFix does better than Exim?
