Maybe you should ask Julian Elischer :) Brian, perhaps instead of flooding my mailbox with your ramblings you could: 1) Wait a couple of years and manage a few lists of this volume like our friend Jonathan has. 2) Perform a 2 year (hell 5 year) study on the various mailers, it'll keep you busy, trust me. 3) Realize that exim isn't bundled with any system and would be a big step backwards in making FreeBSD a choice for a homeogenous shop and that it's in the ports if you need it. 4) Realize that there is news that several commercial Unix vendors are quite possibly moving to Postfix. It would be to FreeBSD's advantage to roll with them into this. And I really wish everyone would realize that jmb is only adding postfix, HE IS NOT REMOVING SENDMAIL. All you m4 freaks settle down a bit, get off his back, and step out of the way of progress, thanks. :) -Alfred "my MTA is netcat" Perlstein > > Brian Feldman _ __ ___ ___ ___ > green@unixhelp.org _ __ ___ | _ ) __| \ > http://www.freebsd.org/ _ __ ___ ____ | _ \__ \ |) | > FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! _ __ ___ ____ _____ |___/___/___/ > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
