I would go for other alternatives. I unsuccessfully tried to get mh to work with smail 2.5 a long time ago but it was a limitation of the System V R2 that I was using, not mh and maybe not smail 2.5 > I will try to recompile the mh. Could you please tell me how to configure > mh to do its own delivery? Thanks for your help. I have not done this, so I cannot give more specifics than this. In /usr/ports/mail/mh/work/mh-6.8.3/conf the file mh-gen.8 is a man page that discusses configuration options. The ports package creates a "FreeBSD" config file in this directory, the default is "MH". You want to look at the section in mh-gen that talks about "stand-alone" setup. In the compile config file you will need to set mts to mhmts. There are other options set in the "FreeBSD" config file that probably should not be set for you, like BIND.
