OK, you are right, if you have a small number of machines, the sendmail.cw file is probably the best thing for you. But you might still think of masquerading on your mailserver so _all_ mail going out looks like it is from bryden.apana.org.au. > As I understand it I don't need to run a > local DNS since > that is presently handled on the existing POP site.

The sendmail on FreeBSD is a pretty much straight install of the ISC product. Since sendmail has its roots as a Berkeley code, it builds just fine on FreeBSD. The only real customizations are in the /etc/sendmail.cf that comes with FreeBSD, but I would guess you've beuilt your own sendmail.cf by now anyway. An additional point, your Outlook Express there is _really_ distorting your text. It gets a bit hard to read with the misplaced carriage returns... but I guess it's better than what one ususally sees with Outlook Express, no carriage returns. -- Crist J.
