I have a variety of servers on my home network and they all > forward all mail to a central machine using dma(1). Thank you for the reply. At this point, I am looking to start with the simplest solution for one FreeBSD computer. Lucas [1] describes using dma(1). A local centralized MTA has operations and maintenance advantages, especially if there are many local hosts. But, first I have to figure out how to build a local centralized MTA (with TLS). Furthermore, centralization implies "all of your eggs in one basket". As I expect that I will be breaking and fixing this several times as I learn, decentralized KISS should be easier.
