If I choose sendmail_enable="NONE", I can send email and sockstat shows port 25 open on the localhost. If I choose sendmail_enable="NO", port 25 no longer shows up but I appear to lose the ability to send mail. Is "NONE" as good as it gets and does it leave port 25 all the way open or just to the localhost? Any comments, explanations, pointers to URLs? I don't think I'm the only person out there confused about this. Dru To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
