Any non-sendmail mailer, I am assuming you mean those which require the input of an actual SMTP source, can of course be set for SMTP as localhost, 127.0.0.1, or the actual LAN IP address. BTW, the actual example script given on lifewithqmail.org for creating groups and users for qmail, is for FreeBSD. -- Gary
