Your freebsd box allready has sendmail installed. All you have to do is put your registered domain name in the file /etc/mail/local-host-names and sendmail will accept mail for username@yourdomain.com. You may also want to take a look at the file /etc/mail/aliases and the command newaliases. To setup a pop3 server you'll have to install something like qpopper (pkg_add -r qpopper) and put the following line in your /etc/inetd.conf: pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/qpopper qpopper After which you must restart inetd. cheers, Ruben > > Cheers > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
