Thanks,

I don't have any experience with mail systems what so ever. So Postfix
is not a pop3 server? What do I need to get a full working mail server
up and running? I use postfix as an MTA and I have an email program on
the client side (running on windows machines). Is there anything else
that needs to be installed on my freebsd box?=20

Cheers=20

>As a MTA, I'd recommend 'postfix', since it's rather easy to set up
>(ports/postfix). Documentation can be found at http://www.postfix.org.
If >you
>install it, be sure to have a look at the example configuration files
in
>/usr/local/etc/postfix.

>I don't have a lot of experience with pop3 or imap servers (which you
will

that.
