The stock answer is to tackle configuring sendmail so you can use the send-pr included with the system. Recently I noticed a port that might be a lot easier for those who use pop3 and don't have a need for sendmail. You can try having a look at /usr/ports/sysutils/gtk-send-pr to see if it might meet your needs. I've not used the port but it only has a few dependencies. Hope this helps you, Randy --
