Sendmail is only an SMTP server. Mail _will_ be stored in UNIX mbox format on the FreeBSD server right out of the box, so you don't need to worry about that. If you want to retrieve mail stored on the FreeBSD server using the POP3 protocol, you will need to explicitly install a POP daemon. You will find potential candidates in the ports collection under /usr/ports/mail, I believe. I don't use a POP daemon, you I can't really comment on them, but I'm sure users on the list will be able to suggest some stable/secure ones. As for a list of commands, I don't know if there is a relevant man page concerning this. Someone else might know. Regards, -Martin > Hi there, > > I have a few questions.
