:) just another comment about quotas in emails.. (though its also not for sendmail) you might also want to check QMAIL. theres a very nice installation guide for FreeBSD in http://freebsd.qmailrocks.org/ you'll just have to follow the step-by-step installation and in the end you'll have a nice web-based interface for maintaining users/virtual domains, with spam/virus filtering and other stuff :) ================================= Gil A.

It's a fairly easy switch: install Postfix from /usr/ports/mail/postfix, and then you just need to configure one line in your Postfix's main.cf to turn on Maildir support: http://www.postfix.org/faq.html#maildir Though, there might be a bit of a learning curve with respect to the differences between Sendmail and Postfix to convert the rest of your configuration over. It all depends on how complicated your current setup is.
