Looks like you've done some of your homework. ASA would love to
sell you a completely configured and ready to use FreeBSD system.
I think that would be the way to go if I was starting this all over
again. The current RELEASE version is 4.1. That's probably what
you'd get if you ordered a FreeBSD system from ASA today. There
is documentation at www.FreeBSD.org that describes the difference
between RELEASE, STABLE and CURRENT.
Oh, by the way. You might want to set your mail software to send
plain text all the time. But especially when sending to this group.
There's not much justification for sending multipart/alternative
when the HTML in the alternative part contains no special markup
plain old text.
Good luck
