I'd worry about the confusion of calling it smtp given that user is not used by the SMTP server (the sendmail daemon), it is used by the MSP (mail submission program), i.e., when users/programs run sendmail from the command line for initial submission of the mail. Calling it 'smtp' may lead people to believe the SMTP daemon uses it. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
