One line change, if you need to :) for postfix. cd /usr/ports/mail/postfix-current make install Same for exim.
See http://www.hserus.net for the gory details on exim, http://www.postfix.org/faq.html#dialup for postfix. nicks based? Thats a MUA function (roles/identities) not MTA. Postfix doesn't do sender based routing though.
