OK – that was probably spot on. I had another issue (after exim and dovecot install) as well in that exim was looking specifically for /etc/exim/configure instead of /etc/exim/exim.conf. I fixed that with a symbolic link.
So incoming smtp is working, the domain directory gets created with the user, etc. when the mail comes in. The issue is the domain directory is not getting created not getting created with any group permissions, only user. I did put the uid and gid int the web form when creating the domain.
Since there are no group permissions and dovecot does not run as exim4u, it cannot access the mail store.
Any ideas? I suppose I could have dovecot run as exim4u, but that does not seem like the right way to do it.
I am able to send to other domains as well via smtp.
Thx in advance!

OK guys, I generally have a server up and running on FreeBSD. I have a couple of issues though.
1. I created my first domain and users and all emails are being rejected: 2016-04-14 04:04:48 H=<domain.tld> [35.9.75.75] F=<> rejected RCPT <emailaddress@firstdomain.tld>: relay not permitted
1.a. I checked the mysql database, the domain and all users are created and all point to the proper mail reporistory.
1.b. I checked directory create permissions by creating a directory in the mailstore directory:
root@svr6:/usr/local/etc # su -l exim4u
$ pwd
/usr/home/exim4u
$ ls
mail public_html
$ cd mail
$ mkdir test.com
$ ls -l
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 exim4u exim4u 512 Apr 14 04:16 test.com
$ exit
1.c. I created a new virtual domain just to be able to work with a domain that is not critical. The postmaster welcome email was sent:
./maillog:Apr 14 04:26:51 svr6 sendmail[3131]: u3EBQocI003131: to=postmaster@<seconddomain.tld>, ctladdr=www (80/80), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=relay, pri=30396, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (OK id=1aqfQA-0000oW-Qq)
But no domain directory was created in the mailstore.
1.d. I checked the exim mainlog and found the reject:
./mainlog:2016-04-14 04:26:51 H=(svr6.fritz.us.com) [10.10.0.250] F=<www@svr6.fritz.us.com> rejected RCPT <postmaster@seconddomain.tld>: relay not permitted
./mainlog:2016-04-14 04:26:51 1aqfQA-0000oW-Qq ** postmaster@ seconddomain.tld R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp H=svr6.fritz.us.com [216.70.235.150]: SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<postmaster@ seconddomain.tld>: 550 relay not permitted
1.e. Any ideas?
2. I installed dovecot 2 from packages: pkg install dovecot2 but I am not sure I can use it? It seems like it is not compiled with the mysql auth method! Am I correct? do I need to configure and compile it from ports?
./maillog:Apr 14 02:20:54 svr6 dovecot: auth: Fatal: Support not compiled in for passdb driver 'sql'
Thx for any help. I have actually kept a ‘log’ of the steps and progress and can hopefully publish a complete single steps-to-install-and confirgure doc for FreeBSD (once it will works of course!).

Odhiambo,
Yessir – using 10.3.
Odhiambo/Gordon,
Thx for the tips. I was, of course, compiling and installing everything that way. Old habit.
I may well start over and just use packages to keep things clean.

Odhiambo is spot on here. You don't need to compile most of the software that you are going to use with FreeBSD. You can if you want, but that will be alot more time consuming. The "pkg" command is equivalent to "yum" in CentOS. However, "yum" refreshes the repositories automatically whereas you need to run "pkg update" to refresh repositories and then "pkg install" or "pkg update" to install or update packages. AFAIK, there are only two packages that you will need to compile using the ports collection in order to get Exim4U working: exim and dovecot2. You should compile these two packages in order to customize the configurations to work with mysql, sqlite, etc. Otherwise, you should be able to install everything with the "pkg" command.
Also, FreeBSD has another command that maintains the main operating system called "freebsd-update". "freebsd-update" manages the kernel and the core operating system components. Use "freebsd-update fetch", freebsd-update install" to keep the core FreeBSD components up to date.
You also need to manage your ports collection to make sure that you have the most up to date source code. To do that, use the "portsnap" command. For example: "portsnap fetch" and "portsnap update"
These are your friends:
man freebsd-update
man portsnap
man pkg
FYI,
Gordon
