Morning everyone. I have a few questions in general about Sendmail and a few in regards to sendmail on FreeBSD. (NOTE: I do use postfix for a lot of my mail servers, but for one particular instance, I need to use Sendmail.) My first question is about resources for learning Sendmail. I currently have the "Bat book" and have been using it to work my around sendmail, but the learning curve is pretty steep and im looking for other resources as well. Does anyone recommend any web sites other books that can help start the learning process for sendmail? I can be quite trivial at times. :) Second question is in regards to Sendmail on FreeBSD. I'm currently running FreeBSD 4.9 and the version that comes shipped with 4.9 is 8.12.9p I believe. I want to know what is the best way to go about upgrading sendmail on FreeBSD boxes? Is it better to build sendmail out of the ports tree? Or, is it better to d/l the source and compile it manually. Is there a difference? Is one better than the other? I appreciate the help. Jason
