It will wate resources at best and open up more security issues that you will have to track in the long run. Most people prefer just install the base system along with the specific software for the task at hand for most servers (in your case which ever mail filtering software you will be using). The joy of unix is being able to admin. boxen remotely via ssh very easily, so there is really no need for a full blow gui on a server. for more info on setting up a mail scanner under FreeBSD I would read the online documentation carefully. I will really help you out in the long run: http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html > Please excuse my ignorance as this the first time I am installing Freebsd >=20 np welcome :) > Thanks >=20 > PS ; any reason I would be unable to post from legitimate work email? >=20 not sure with out more info, although willing to be there is an issue with your corporate MTA. -p --=20 ~~o0OO0o~~ Pete Wright www.nycbug.org NYC's *BSD User Group
