I suggest ssmtp in the ports: ports/mail/ssmtp Or it's web site: http://packages.debian.org/testing/mail/ssmtp.html "A secure, effective and simple way of getting mail off a system to your mail hub. It contains no suid-binaries or other dangerous things - no mail spool to poke around in, and no daemons running in the background. Mail is simply forwarded to the configured mailhost. Extremely easy configuration." Only needs 4 or 5 lines in a config file. Read up on the "make replace" process to install it in place of sendmail. -RW
