Contrary to popular belief SendMail + the m4 macros isn't hard to understand, QMail is easy for those who use QMail but I tend to have to install it twice before I get it right, and PostFix is good -- although I've never used it personally but too many people whose technical opinion I trust have said that it's good. I tend to use SendMail, but that's because I'm stubborn and sometimes old-fashioned :-) DSL To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
