These should give you the basic = postfix functionality. Access method is different from mail service. Postfix only does smtp = and you would need a client to access the mail. If you setup local = users on the box, then you would need to use things such as mail, mailx, = elm, pine, etc. The first couple usually are built-in with various flavors of Unix, the = latter ones, you have to install them from the ports. So 2 pieces to your puzzle, mail server which is going to be postfix and = accessing the mailbox which is pine or... Installation is just the beginning. Once you embark on configuring, you = should have a clear idea what pieces you want and what piece you don't. = My suggestion is look into security, spam, mail relay at the minimum.=20 Good luck.
