Postfix or qmail are the smtp's you should take a closer look at but to be honest I really like qmail combined with qmailadmin and vpopmail which makes it very easy for someone who cannot use Unix nor wants to configure things using shell. I hope these links can help you to configure the software: http://www.ezunix.org/modules.php?name=Sections&sop=viewarticle&artid=3 http://howto.globelinks.com/qmail-howto-freebsd.html http://www.delouw.ch/linux/Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO/html/index.html * Tom Wiebe <twiebe@mac.com> [2002-04-13 13:06:14 -0700]: > Hi there, > > Another simple question for the list, I hope.
