Edit freebsd.cf (look for SMART_HOST), point it at your ISP's mail server. Do "make stop; make install; make start". You may have to twiddle some more, look at the Makefile there and: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mail.html In particular, if your ISP requires your mailer to authenticate, you will need to twiddle the things called an access map for SMTP AUTH. :-) -- -Chuck
