FreeBSD uses the mailer 'sendmail' by default. You can check the FreeBSD handbook and 'man sendmail' for information about this. You can send mail from the command line by using "echo 'msg' | mail -s subject toadress@example.com -ffromadress@example.com' or use a mailer like Mutt. -- Alex Please copy the original recipients, otherwise I may not read your reply.
