Oh well, worth a try. You can stop the dialup happening by adding
some packet filtering rules in your ppp config --- this should prevent
dialing triggered by DNS lookups:
set filter dial 0 deny udp dst eq 53
See the ppp(8) man page section `PACKET FILTERING' and
/usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample

If there's an executable startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d called
something.sh then the `something' service will be automatically
started on system boot. No further action required. For completeness
sake, check out the use of the 'local_startup' setting in rc.conf ---
I doubt you'll need to change from the default though.
Many ports will install `something.sh-dist' which you are expected to
copy to `something.sh' and customise for your own purposes. You'll
also have to put together appropriate configuration files for your
servers. This is probably the hardest part of making it all work ---
for qmail you can use `make enable-qmail' in the port directory to set
a lot of things up.
See the mailwrapper(8) and mailer.conf(5) man pages for how to
configure an alternate MTA as a drop in replacement for sendmail.
Cheers,
Matthew
