Agreed. cd /usr/ports/mail/XXXX ; make ; make install should, in an ideal world, be all that is needed.

In fact, if others want, the OpenBSD CVS tree is a weath of patches for those that have the time to wade throught it. : - shooting intruders on sight. Naw. Boiling them in hot oils is much more fun :-). Warner
