And what is "reasonably well" I am runing the first 0.50 port and it actually worked better than the one in ports that actually would overwrite a couple of my configuration files, it has been a long time and I don't remember which but not really difficult to find. I then started compiling my own versions up to 0.49 and for 0.50 milan offered the first version of this port which I understand is now polished a bit more. I used it for upgrading 6 boxes that have been running it ever since 0.50 came out with NO issues with the port. It worked out of the box for both new and upgrades from the ports version perfectly and is runing prefectly, of course as always, YMMV. I am using ldap authorization, fyi. enjoy, ed > > And why is this very good mailer NOT supported on FreeBSD?
