It works quite well. You will probably need to make a few minor changes to /etc/sendmail.cf (like perhaps a smart relay host and a domain alias). At least, those were the only changes I needed :). Also, IMHO mutt is much (MUCH) nicer than Pine (I don't care for pico either).

IBM is my ISP, and I have read a great deal about mutt and sendmail; I guess sendmail is the engine to the mutt interface--the two work together. I would like to find more detailed info on how to get this functioning. My sources are Unix Power Tools and The Complete FreeBSD >(3rd Edition) Hmmm.... For additional documentation, can anyone show me >the way? (as Frampton would say) John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
