Yes. As luck would have it I wrote a guide to installing it on FreeBSD as well. You can read the article here: http://www.munk.nu/webcp/ The article covers installing exim with support for pwcheck on freebsd. Whilst pwcheck is now deprecated and it still works, it should still help you out. > > Has anyone got a sample FreeBSD exim config I can look at, perhaps one > that uses a smarthost (but that's not strictly necessary)? Thanks. Remember to install the exim documentation as well - whilst quite terse, the documentation is very comprehensive. As the other poster mentions check for existing configurations as well and also check the exim-users list for some ideas - try searching here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=exim-users&r=1&w=2 -- Jez http://www.munk.nu/
