If so...sendmail is by default installed and active. edit the /etc/mail files as required e.g. create /etc/mail/relay-hosts file and enter things like... 192.168.1 RELAY This allows any remote mail clients on your 192.168.1.0 LAN to (smtp) send mail from the machine. Now make sure that hostnames etc are set in /etc/rc.conf Make sure that an MX record in a DNS server somewhere points to your machine! NOW FOR POP. install cucipop --> from the /ports/mail collection It will install to /usr/local/libexec/cucipop Now edit the /etc/inetd.conf file scroll down to find the #pop3 ...bla bla line and get rid of the # comment sign now change the default stuff in that line to pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/cucipop cucipop this will set up the pop3 server. Now set up your users and edit the /etc/mail/aliases file for the user mail aliases (if wanted) reboot or give the system stuff a SIGHUP and voila ! more or less done.
