It comes with the standard FreeBSD distribution and has all the features that you require in a mail server? I know some people have a fear of sendmail and having to mess with the sendmail.cf file. With the versions of sendmail that are currently shipping with FreeBSD though, you can create a custom sendmail.cf files very easily using m4 macro configs. It's probably safe to say that sendmail is the mode widely used MTA out there. A few other popular MTAs are Qmail (http://www.qmail.org) and Postfix (http://www.postfix.org), both of which are highly centered and focused on security. Choosing the best of the three MTAs becomes a religious war. They're all free... try one and see which one you like best. - chris -- Christopher Uy U S WEST Internet Services Systems Engineer 600 Stinson Blvd. 3S E-mail: cuy@uswest.net Minneapolis, MN 55413 "I used to be a doctor, but I didn't have the patients."
