I have always thought that Fetchmail was a fairly easy application to configure. Stay away from "qmail". It is no longer supported. Postfix is far superior and works nearly seamlessly with dovecot. You need to place the following in your /etc/rc.conf file to shut down sendmail: sendmail_enable="NO" sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO" sendmail_outbound_enable="NO" sendmail_submit_enable="NO" -- Jerry ✌ FreeBSD.user@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
