I then sat then and wondered what to do next. Mail! The problem is after reading the book I'm not sure which MTA I should use. Should I take the time to configure Sendmail to receive my mail form my ISP, or just install POP to retrieve mail instead. Right now I only have one PC, but I plan to add 2 more in the next 3 months and I would like to have them use the same PPP link to the Internet and receive mail also. So my question is for those who have configured mail already. Should I set of POP now, or go with the grueling configuration of Sendmail have it up and ready when I add computers to my network? If I use Sendmail, what is the best way to do it; load it at boot time or call it from ppp.linkup? -- Neal Tillery -- neal.tillery@cp.novartis.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
