OK. I installed WebMin, no problem. I then Installed (cd /usr/ports make make install) Postfix. I then launched my browser and logged into webmin. I see no PostFix shown that would allow me to setup PostFix. What am I missing ? thanks, Darryl -----Original Message----- From: Linh Pham [mailto:lplist@closedsrc.org] Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2001 9:44 AM To: Darryl Hoar Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Sendmail & Pop3 On 2001-03-22, Darryl Hoar scribbled: # setup email on my FreeBSD box so we can internal email once # again. I assume this requires sendmail and pop3 ? You can use Sendmail, Postfix, Qmail or any other mail transfer agents available. Sendmail tends to be harder to configure (unless if you have the O'Reilly book or any other hefty reference manual available) than Postfix. I would probably recommend on using Postfix (which is available under Ports) and you can use Webmin (again, available under ports) to configure and maintain not only Postfix but other system services. As far as POP3 is concerned, I believe there is a POP3 daemon called QPopper that can be used. If you want the mail to be stored on the server, you can use IMAP4... which doesn't always work properly under the full Outlook (albeit Outlook Express supports it fairly well). -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
