The local boxes on your network - if all they are doing is running sendmail for local deliveries and not relaying, it probably isn't worth the time to convert. As for your mailservers, I'd always recommend qmail over sendmail. See http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/orientation.html#reasons > would there be any benefit? Not unless you like modularity, speed, security, and excellent internet support. :) BTW, qmail has it's own lists for qmail related discussion, and this would probably be more suited for them, rather than the FreeBSD lists. qmail@list.cr.yp.to -- Mahlon Smith InternetCDS http://www.internetcds.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
