I have been using a FreeBSD box for mirroring our web site (hosted on a public isp), and told my boss that we can use it for our own mail server also. I realize I need to make a DNS change, that's no big deal. I have a FreeBSD4.2 machine up and running, which has sendmail running by default, right? I installed the port qpopper. I have looked at several sites for info on just where to start, and the FreeBSD handbook on FreeBSD.org, but am still in the dark (they all talk about setting up a mail client). Could someone point me in the right direction? I would like to get the system running within a couple days. This machine is the only non-NT box in the company, and if I don't show a very compelling reason why we need it, it will be used as a NT workstation.
