Changing your MTA is documented on http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mail-changingmta.html If you're talking about making sure that the normal periodic script reports are emailed back to you: those scripts simply use /usr/sbin/sendmail, which is a mailwrapper(8) which should always point to your actual sendmail binary. The scripts themselves don't need any changes for you to continue to recieve their results. However, some items in those scripts are no longer needed if you move away from sendmail(tm). These are documented in /usr/ports/mail/postfix/pkg-message. Installing via the port is probably the easiest way to get postfix installed. Cheers. Andrew
