You can upgrade to 8.12.7 from sendmail.org. These newer versions of sendmail make it harder to accidentilly run an open relay. And if your feeling really confident, give Postfix a try. :) http://www.postfix.org. Both of these MTA's are in your ports, but your going to need to `cvsup` your ports tree before you use them (since your version of FreeBSD is rather old). For info on that read this section in the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html Good luck! ~Shane -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE+XjUsIyUr/yoGQnYRAlmtAJ9SjoSBbCirbn55qx+NfKuiMwRvTwCcCoe9 tUyIjTeG1tJcyabOvJqrbIU= =T98M -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
