Others have pointed out the Postfix port. It's basically qmail, only written by someone sane, so it is easy to understand and configure. Basically: cd /usr/ports/mail/postfix make install replace killall sendmail $EDITOR /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postfix.sh start The proof is in the pudding: /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf is a highly-commentd config file. For the basic stuff, you just read through it, read the comments, and make the appropriate changes. Trickier stuff you read the man pages and check out the Postfix web site. If you really get confused you post a question to the Postfix mailing list, and you will likely receive a timely, condescending reply from Vietse himself, pointing out the answer, and where in his documentation you would have read that. :) -danny To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
