(Don't know about postfix though--on Linux it worked out of the box and on BSD, I've been using point and wimp clients. Did you create a user named postfix when you installed it? You do have to do that--aside from that, as I said, I think it worked right out of the box) HTH Scott Robbins To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
