The *port* is in /usr/ports/mail. I'd recommend installing cvsup-without-gui, which /stand/sysinstall should be able to find easily, as there is a package for that. I just put it on one back a week or so ago via sysinstall. After that, you just need a supfile (there is one pre-written in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/, you just pick the closest server and type it in...) and the command: $cvsup /path/to/my-ports-supfile It will update your local ports tree, and then it's a matter of: $cd /usr/ports/mail/qmail $make install clean and the rest is automagic. BTW, welcome to FreeBSD! Feel free to post questions to the questions list; occasionally people come on to remind us that this is just supposed to be a 'newbie' hangout ... chat about the OS, etc. HTH, Kevin Kinsey
