Please ask questions in -questions, that is what is for. :) They are willing to answer any questions at all, even those we perceive as newbish questions. Newbies is for finding the good resources, general chatting about newbie related issues, and telling people about your latest success. You might want to check out these links also: www.freebsddiary.org www.mostgraveconcern.com And for Sendmail www.sendmail.org (They also have mailing lists that could help you with this problem too.)
