As far as SMTP, I'm not sure I know how to prevent any BSD from using SMTP. It would be helpful to spend some time with /usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.html. `Essential System Administration' by AEleen Frisch (O'Reilly) would also be helpful. -- Jay On Sat, 2 Aug 1997, Doug Jolley wrote: ->I hate to be a pest; but, could someone please illuminate the ->way for setting up FreeBSD as a POP3/SMTP mail server?
