However the last time I brought this up 2 valid points were raised that should not be over looked. 1. No one has written the code into sysinstall to allow for slecting an MTA. 2. We have an actuall maintainer of sendmail FROM the vendor. Greg from sendmail actually maintains our sendmail. If dan or wietse would do the same that would be one less argument people have for ripping out sendmail. However I know for a fact weitse does *not* have the time to do this. So both points are still valid. I love postfix and would love to see it as an option in sysinstall but until those 2 points above are checked off the list I don't see it happening. ============================================================================= -Chris Watson (316) 326-3862 | FreeBSD Consultant, FreeBSD Geek Work: scanner@jurai.net | Open Systems Inc., Wellington, Kansas Home: scanner@deceptively.shady.org | http://open-systems.net ============================================================================= WINDOWS: "Where do you want to go today?"
